During the first stage of Tourn & egrave; and the Four Hills, & egrave; An error was made regulatory, passed under the track, but it speaks volumes about the difficulty & agrave; encountered in the management of & rsquo; event in Oberstdorf.

Unlike the current legislation provides (Article 4.2.2.7), Simon Ammann, fell immediately after & rsquo; landing the first jump, not & egrave; was admitted to the second set despite the measure obtained fell all & rsquo; inside of 95% of the best fit.
The thirty-three Swiss & egrave ;, in fact, landed 133 meters, which is equivalent to 95.34% finding the best fit (139.5 meters joined by Peter Prevc).
I for one, during the live broadcast, I found myself in a situation of unforgivable uncertainty, because I place the & rsquo; question if indeed the Regulation normally used for the races of the World Cup also applied to the competitions of Tourn & egrave; and Four Hills, which obviously assign points to the World Cup.
Actually & agrave ;, would have been enough to remember the race in Bischofshofen of 2013 to remove all doubt. Nell & rsquo; occasion, the German Andreas Wellinger, despite being dropped and he lost the head-to-head, was admitted to the second set in virt & ugrave; the measure obtained.
Clarified the regulation & egrave; appropriate to wonder how it was possible to make a step-load of this magnitude. Answer not & egrave; trivial, but probably you & egrave; misunderstood between laws for the jump qualification and laws for the first series.
In races of Tourn & egrave; and the Four Hills, unlike normal competitions of the World Cup, & egrave; mandatory that no more & ugrave; fifty athletes take part in the first series (4.2.2.2). Consequently, the rule of the jump fell 95% of best fit is not applicable (4.2.1.3.1). & Nbsp; Outside of Tourn & egrave; and, instead, l & rsquo; athlete fell that still reached 95% of the best measure is admitted to the race even if not among the best forty qualification (thirty regard races flight). So & egrave; possible that pi & ugrave; fifty athletes present themselves in pole starting in the first series.
The fact that no one, and after druante, has raised the question about what happened to Oberstdorf & egrave; clearly linked to the difficulty & agrave; encountered in the management of the race, which took precedence over everything else. In any case, Simon Ammann & egrave; been damaged by the & rsquo; mistake. & nbsp;
