The FIS fact wants to meet the medium-small nations, trying to bridge the gap with the great powers of the sport. The main cause & egrave; the collapse of interests and plays TV in countries historically attached to the cross-country such as Germany and Poland, but also France and Italy.
The first new rule & egrave; limiting the number of athletes helped financially for each country. To date they are reimbursed for travel expenses and living the first 30 skiers of the charts and sprint distance pi & ugrave; a coach. The proposal of the FIS plans to finance the first 50 skiers in the world & ndash; without distinction between distance and sprint & ndash; but with a maximum of four athletes per nation, without any additions to the technical staff. The rule would, if approved, would take effect as of 2016-17, as the season that will begin & agrave; November & egrave; gi & agrave; the budget was set.
The second new rule & egrave; limiting to six the number of technicians in the wake of the various teams. Whereas last season Norway, undisputed queen of the sport, in the wake of its athletes had thirty technicians at each stage of the World Cup, comes from s & eacute; that such a limitation would revolutionize the strategies of nations pi & ugrave; representative; conversely countries like Poland and Kazakhstan, would find themselves with six staff members available to an individual athlete (in this case Kowalczyk and Poltoranin).
How can & ograve; inferred, the two new rules that will be discussed in Varna do not touch explicitly Norway, however & egrave; under the eyes of all the Scandinavian country it would be more disadvantaged, so that the Norwegian media are already & agrave; shooting controversy.
Surely some regulatory amendment will come & agrave; made, but probably will try & agrave; a balance that will please everyone and that it can enforce the investments and the sporting talent that in some countries are undeniably above the world average.
