Password 'order Revolution. And '' that the new deal set by the FIBT, & nbsp; International Federation of Bobsleigh and skeleton, at the end of the World Council of Gent held last weekend. On this occasion the executive board of the highest decision-making body of the two disciplines gut ruled that since the World Championships of 2017 each nation potr & agrave; to deploy via a contingent made up of only two athletes / crews against three planned until last year, but above this limit & nbsp; might be extended to the Olympic Games to start right from the Olympics & nbsp; Pyeongchang in 2018.

A decision in accordance with the FIBT could give new life to the poor entry list's Last edition of the World Cup which saw the way very few nations especially in women, but that & egrave; destined to make to discuss for a long time. In fact, there is capacity on how it can benefit the growth of the movement of the bob rose a possible reduction of the gi & agrave; by itself & egrave; poor park starters & nbsp; (record entered in a race 17 with evidence with the way & nbsp; only 11 crews), but most do not understand on what basis the discipline can evolve if they are penalized Germany and the United States & nbsp; that is, the only two countries which currently invest in massiciamente bob female and that alone boast six athletes to the first 8 places in the ranking of the World Cup.
But also in key men the effects of this new rule will go to undermine the 'essence of the sport. & Nbsp; United States, Canada, & nbsp; Russia & nbsp; and especially Germany in fact they will have to give up a crew competitive given the tradition winning these big events in the national will meet with a weapon less for the conquest of a & nbsp; medal. Also in this case & egrave; Clearly to lose sar & agrave; undoubtedly the show, a thrilling final as that of previous World Winterberg bob with three Germans fighting for the 'gold world champion bobsleigh four & nbsp; not & will agrave; pi & ugrave; possible with this new rule, but also the reduction of quotas will cut & agrave; the bud women's participation in the four-man bob competitions, legislation introduced by the same FIBT last September. & nbsp;
The limitation of the crews could be extended to Olympic events starting with Games & nbsp; Pyeongchang 2018 but currently lacks the 'official approval of the IOC, & nbsp; which according to yahoo news site should arrive shortly.
Among other novelties & agrave; approved by the board of the International Federation & nbsp; c '' & egrave; Also the decision to reduce the maximum weight of 30 kg including athletes pi & ugrave; sled competitions of bob female rule entrer & agrave; into force in the next two seasons.
The picture so far carried out clearly some confusion within the FIBT that obviously does not know exactly which direction to take to raise his two disciplines. In fact reduce the quotas of national reference can & ograve; make sense only if you have the courage and the will & agrave; to finance the noble lapsed bobsleigh world as Switzerland, Austria and Italy & nbsp; to make them return to the glories of the past, then so probably the 'image of the sport could come out stronger by increasing competition. Insist in promotional campaigns & nbsp; reserved exclusively to countries with little tradition in the world of bobsleigh and skeleton in the & nbsp; on the other hand, allows only to talk about these two sports only in terms folk without leading to a comprehensive development of the movement. Possible that the International Federation is unable to understand? & Nbsp;
