In addition to the format of the revolution in racing flight, the spring meeting of the FIS have given birth to an'' other proposed major change in the regulations for the 2014 season - 15'' that will be approved at the congress in Barcelona in early June. It should again change the conformation of the suits.

Compared to what we saw in the'' last season, will be increased the thickness of the same overalls (4 to 6 mm), and will be especially modified tolerance to "distance between the suit and the body," in other words the width.
'' In the winter just ended the suit could be up to 2 cm more large compared to the body of the athlete''. Now, however, there will be a minimum and a maximum different for men and women. In the men's field width must be between 1 and 3 cm, while in the women between 2 and 4 cm.
Therefore, the suits will go back to being slightly more large (although it is still far from the 6 cm granted until 2011), but you can attend suspensions, hitherto non-existent, for suits too tight.
The change is been designed to reduce the violence of the landings. Not that we wanted to understand a luminary in 2011 when it was decided to make the suits more tight, all thinking minds among the technicians stated that the landing would have been much more dangerous. In Fis have put us only two years to realize it.
