The FIS slalom think in three rounds

At the FIS Congress in Barcelona submitted a proposal that aims to bring more Entertainment and more spectators both on site and in front of the tv: the slalom in three heats. This was reported by the website ledauphine.com / skichrono.

Is not provided that the locations hosting the classic races like Adelboden, Wengen, Kitzbühel or Schladming not be affected by this new since they have already a very large following. It is thought rather to the races in the localities as the Finnish Levi, competing for this early in the season, it would be dress rehearsal for this new format. After the first round the top 30, as now, would gain access to the second, called "semi-final", after which they would play only the top 15 placings in the final third, a real final, with the last two fractions to be held a behind the other, occupying more whether or not the space of the current second round, so probably leaving more close-ups. It seems that the Executive Committee of the FIS has welcomed the proposal by the French federation but many things are still to be defined, including broadcast on TV even though all three rounds or just the last two. A final decision will have the Council of the International Federation of Skiing autumn
