The pi & ugrave; significant concerns the so-called crossfiring, or the unlikely event that the & rsquo; athlete shooting at targets of a firing line different from that in which & egrave; positioned.
To date the shots were considered as five errors and biathlete could continue his race five times along the & rsquo; penalty & agrave ring ;. Should not you be circumspect of his blunder, it was penalized two minutes for each round of penalty & agrave; not carried out.
To give a concrete example, think of all & rsquo; women's pursuit played in Nove Mesto l & rsquo; February 8, 2015. Franziska Hildebrand spar memorize options the targets of a & rsquo; other line of fire, striking down three. He did not notice the defaillance and walked the & rsquo; ominous ring only twice. Therefore, after the race was penalized 6 minutes, since & eacute; formally he had committed five errors.
From next season the Regulation sar & agrave; much more & ugrave; severe. Shoot the targets of a & rsquo; other shooting line comporter & agrave; disqualification.
& Egrave; to memorize options cos & igrave; a gray area was created. Is not serious; in fact clear whether, to trigger the disqualification, to stop shooting to be completed or whether it is sufficient to fire a shot.
Even in this case, the previous non-missing. A Oberhof in January 2010 Darya Domracheva noticed to be shooting at the wrong shape after the third shot. In Nove Mesto in January 2012 Magdalena Neuner became aware of & rsquo; mistake before releasing the & rsquo; last bullet.
Both closed their session on the correct shape, They carried the laps of penalty & agrave; due and were able to continue their race. The ninth concluded Belarusian and German seventh. It is therefore hoped that the & rsquo; Ibu clarify the pi & ugrave; soon the situation to avoid questions in & rsquo; interpretation of the rules.
Other regulatory changes are less important. Among them & nbsp; & Egrave; It enshrined that & rsquo; incoming athlete in & rsquo; penalty & agrave ring; should give priority to potential adversaries engaged in their lap, or in output from & rsquo; ring itself.
