Reflection on "Wild West" of the jump suits, where Fis a timid "sheriff permissive"

Disqualifications Kamil Stoch in the team event in Willingen and Eric Frenzel in the second gundersen Val di Fiemme raise spontaneous reflection on how real control of the FIS regarding compliance with the rules on the materials.

The assumption that can not & ograve; be questioned & egrave; that if an athlete is disqualified, then competed with irregular equipment. The problem is not certain disqualifications in s & egrave ;, as their management. Who is closely following the special jump knows that disqualifications to suit irregular strike traditionally small fish, generally gi & agrave; positioned in the rear and whose disqualification & egrave; so painless and irrelevant. Nell''inverno underway were "caught" only two big fish. Roman Koudelka in qualifying Garmiasch-Partenkirchen and Kamil Stoch in the team event in Willingen. How can & ograve; note, for & ograve ;, in both cases, the context of the race had a very low specific gravity is not valid since the competition for the World Cup. So the policy of Fis & egrave; to make disqualifications irrelevant to who & egrave; gi & agrave; eliminated, or "issuing warnings" in the big events of little value? In this way the system & egrave; credible because & eacute; disqualification is used simply as a bogeyman and rules enforced only rarely. The 'obvious consequence of this policy & egrave; an incentive to circumvent the policies hoping to get away. Proof & egrave; what happened during the 'summer, when & egrave; been much talk of the under-used by Norway. The controversy & egrave; exploded violently after the national championships in late August, after which appeared photos depicting athletes with sottotuta clearly irregular, since & eacute; not formed from a single piece as required by the Regulation. The consequence & egrave; was that in September flocked disqualifications Norwegians, especially in Continental Cup, but also "upstairs". In fact in the Summer Grand Prix races in Almaty Daniel-Andre Tande & egrave; was taken out of the standings twice. Even in this case for & ograve; the system has failed to credibility & agrave ;. In Kazakhstan Tande & egrave; was disqualified both Saturday and Sunday, while Phillip Sj & oslash; en did not suffer any kind of measure. What he wants to believe the FIS? Tande who jumped with materials and irregular Sj & oslash; en no? Or maybe the pi & ugrave; younger of the two non & egrave; been touched because & eacute; was overall leader of the Grand Prix? In any case, obviously the message delivered by Fis & egrave; reached its destination Since & eacute; the teen & egrave; was deployed in the last two races of plastic, leaving cos & Igrave; field open to others for the conquest of the Crystal Ball summer. The consequence of this policy & egrave; that any disqualification loses attendibilit & agrave; and above appears impregnated with ulterior motives: Take the case of Eric Frenzel, disqualified yesterday in Val di Fiemme. From this provvendimento arise spontaneously certain questions. 1) Could it be the 'only one of the 48 registered athletes to have irregular materials? Or & egrave; turned a blind eye on many other competitors? In which case, why & egrave ;? 2) Is it possible that & nbsp; only yesterday it was outside the rules? Or you & egrave; Treaty of message apt to say "I keep an 'eye?" In which case, how long is coming "keeping an 'eye'? This means that in the past has jumped unpunished materials irregular? 3) How much was irregular suit Frenzel? It & egrave; Treaty of disqualification due to worn material, and then a few millimeters, or the German jumped with equipment widely uneven, which presupposes intent? 4) Or maybe since the Teutonic had dominated the segment jump and was heading to mathematically win the World Cup with a month and a half in advance, with its collapse dell''interesse for the post-World Cup races, you & egrave; decided to lengthen the stock until at least March of removing it ranking? The questions asked of Frenzel can also be applied to Koudelka and Stoch cos & Igrave; as on any "big guy" gets disqualified for equipment outside the rules. We return to the starting point, or to the fact that the suspensions do not have credibility & agrave; because & eacute; are occasional, often affect small fish and are often targeted, being used to "launch warnings." Therefore, the view of the jump (male, female and Nordic combined) appears an authentic Wild West, where everyone is armed (who of rifle, pistol who, who's knife) and where the only law to be truly respected & egrave; that of the pi & ugrave; strong. The FIS in this context is the part of a sheriff fearful and very permissive, stopping every so often someone just to prove to exist and to justify the star on his chest, without & ograve; any impact on the actual non-compliance with laws, and especially avoiding giving systematically harass pi & ugrave; powerful, merely send messages transverse and hoping in good heart of who should receive them. Eventually for & ograve; who loses more & egrave; own the sheriff, whose credibility & agrave; and authority are less, the whole system of controls, it looks more and more & ugrave; a joke, and especially the sport in question, where now there '' & egrave; pi & ugrave; certainty of the rules.
