Since Sundby & egrave; He was disqualified Friday & Igrave; in the last 15 km of Beitost ø len for skating, in Norway they are wasting the controversy. L & rsquo; & egrave last to take a stand; Kristen was Skjeldal, who made statements very hard on the site Aftenposten: & ldquo; I find that the limitations of the classic technique races are already & agrave; many, prohibit a pair of skate, however, in turn, as it did not make sense Sundby & rdquo ;.
Notably, the new regulation does not directly affect technique of skiing, bens & Igrave; It allows a judge any place along the way to be able to intervene personally to trigger the ban, therefore, based on the word. Until & rsquo; last year, however, it needed a video that showed the & rsquo; infringement.
In order to preserve the classical technique, Skjeldal has a & rsquo; only solution: & ldquo; The best solution & egrave; one, prevent & rsquo; use of ski-skating competitions in classical technique, forcing skiers to use the wax seal. Alternatively you could consider the creation of two sets of tracks in the uphill sections and prohibit the change of track from a starting point to a final pre & rdquo ;.
The President of the Committee of the FIS cross-country skiing, Vegard Ulvang, & egrave; rather satisfied: & ldquo; When in 1985 c & rsquo; & egrave; was splitting in two techniques, no one would have imagined that it would have imposed a regulation to safeguard the alternating step. Instead, we are joints in a period of development of the technique of skiing. L & rsquo; last year we saw several competitions of the World Cup in which cross-country skiers have used the kick wax, Quest & rsquo; year we think there are even more & ugrave ;. I ponder day and night on what is appropriate to do cross-country skiing, when occurring episodes similar to Friday & Igrave; last we simply make a decision & rdquo ;.
