From next season, you can not then pi & ugrave; use extra long sticks to & rsquo; 83% of & rsquo; height of & rsquo; athlete. The length is measured from the tip of the stick and l & rsquo; attack & Outdoors; Grip Belt while l & rsquo; the skier's height is considered with the shoes on his feet. The original German proposal was of & rsquo; 85%, but by measuring the stick by a & rsquo; ends & agrave; all & rsquo; other.
& Ldquo; In essence, & egrave; approved the proposal of Germany & rdquo ;, summed & Aring; ge Skinstad, who represented Norway in the Committee to take a decision.
Skinstad has also motivated the selection of the measurement criteria: & ldquo; It & egrave; decided to measure the & rsquo; height of & rsquo; athlete with shoes to simplify control at competitions. The mode & agrave; the measuring stick choices were rather to ensure uniformity & agrave ;, seen that there are differences between a producer and l & rsquo; other & rdquo ;.
The threshold of & rsquo; 83% & egrave; the result of a compromise between those who urged a more & ugrave resolution; soft & ndash; including Norway & ndash; and who was anxious to secure the even limit to & rsquo; 82%.
The measure, which will be & agrave; valid for all races that are held under the & rsquo; FIS auspices, will have & agrave; an impact on those who in the past have made extreme choices in this respect, ie opting & egrave; for particularly long sticks. Many athletes are still in a position to continue without changes.
In the course of & rsquo; & egrave meeting; It was also debated and rejected the & rsquo; lowering of & rsquo; similar limit for skating races. The barrier to the free technique races, thus remains fixed at 100% of & rsquo; height of & rsquo; athlete.
