With regard to the classical technique, as Th & agrave; reported, the areas in which sar & agrave; It prohibited the push slide will only be introduced at the national level and, perhaps, in the Continental Cup. In the World Cup, World Championships and Olympic Games, a cross-country skier potr & agrave; be disqualified for violation of the classical technique only with the & rsquo; unanimity & agrave; the jury. FIS will also be awarded points in all long distance races (pi & ugrave; long of 50 km or 42 km if you were to hold a & rsquo; altitude over 1500 meters). To take part in a FIS competition, an athlete will have & agrave; fulfill sixteenth birthday within the & rsquo; current calendar year. For example, around 2017, will compete all the boys and girls born before 31 December 2001. At the World Under 23, the shares of each nation will be 8 cross-country skiers, but only 4 of them can participate in all the scheduled events. & Egrave; It confirmed the criterion for selecting the batteries in the sprint: the twelfth of the qualifiers will be & agrave; the first to choose, to follow the & rsquo; the eleventh, tenth and so on until the first. Follow everyone else from thirteenth to thirtieth; this criterion will come & agrave; used for the first time also on the occasion of the Lahti World. In the Team Sprint, they will enter the finals the first four couples classified in the semifinals. Instead the system does not change the World Cup, as will qualify the top two from each pi & ugrave semifinals; the six best times. The criterion for granting of bonus seconds in the competitions will remain multistage & agrave; the same in recent years. Finally, the FIS is meditating about the creation of a second-level international circuit that has a & rsquo; importance intermediate between the World Cup and Continental Cup. A final decision will come & agrave; taken at a later time and, probably, if approved, this circuit will come & agrave; introduced from 2017-18.
