In the beginning the target was the IOC, guilty of not to include the discipline in the Olympic program. For some time, however, the viewfinder has moved toward the FIS. But never before today had un''atleta frontally attacked the international federation as did Maren Lundby in recent days. The crux of the dispute is the draft calendar of the World 2017 - 'Cup' 18 presented at the spring meeting that, according to the Norwegian twenty-two, "can certainly be improved." "In Fis always talking about '' evolution '' of female jumping, to be carried out step by step. But do not specify the direction in which to move these steps, because I have the 'impression that the facts are coming all''indietro. in the next season there will be 15 races in the World Cup against 19 than its predecessor, also competitions on Large Hill will drop from three to one. Since its beginning the World Cup, nothing has changed. Already in 2013 we proved that we can compete profitably on large trampolines. Instead there are people who believe that we are not worthy of the most impressive facilities, such as Paul Ganzenhuber, the FIS committee member for creating calendars. For this reason do not increase the number of races on Large Hill. It also finds it strange that there are fewer and fewer shared stages with the Men's World Cup. I do not understand. In biathlon, in the end, freestyle and in many other sports men and women have all events in common. We do not. In the end, by doing so, the women's jump will always be a minority sport than men. However, after this statement, I promise I'll be back nell''ombra and will not say anything during the 'winter. There are the Olympic Games, a once every four years, and I will focus exclusively on them. " Actually Lundby is not saying anything new. From time promises un''evoluzione leading women to compete more often on Large Hill or to have more stages shared with the men's tour, but nothing moves in this direction.
