2016 Winter Youth Olympic Games In November 2011 the International Olympic Committee will elect the organiser of the 2nd Winter Youth Olympic Games in 2016. The only candidate is Norway with the City of Lillehammer, which successfully hosted the XVII Olympic Winter Games in 1994. 5.2
Olympic Winter Games 2014 in Sochi During the past winter the first test events took place in Sochi, with two European Cup races for men and ladies. Both took place despite an extremely heavy snowfall during the men’s event when more than 2 metres of snow fell in two days. Next winter is an important one with both men’s and ladies FIS Alpine World Cup downhill and super combined competitions taking place on consecutive weeks. During last winter Denis Polyakov left Sochi 2014 and a new Sports Director Werner Augsburger from Switzerland has just been appointed, who was a former sports director of the Swiss Olympic Committee. The 5th meeting of the IOC Coordination Commission took place in Sochi from 21st to 23rd March 2011 with the next visit scheduled in September 2011. Recognising that Sochi needs to build up its experience and expertise in most of the FIS disciplines, the Council underlined the commitment of the FIS to continue to offer full support to Sochi 2014 in preparing for the Olympic Winter Games. Programme for Olympic Winter Games 2014 In October 2010, the IOC Executive Board met in Acapulco (MEX) and decided that it was looking favourably at the inclusion of Ladies’ Ski Jumping, Freestyle Ski Halfpipe, Freestyle Ski Slopestyle and Snowboard Slopestyle, along with events from other Sports namely the Biathlon mixed team relay, Figure Skating team event and Luge team relay in the programme of the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games. However, before taking a final decision, the IOC EB said it would like to consider the outcome of the respective World Championships during the winter season in 2011. Thereafter, FIS submitted a formal request to the IOC Executive Board to reconsider the Alpine Team Event, as the most established discipline with the highest total global TV audiences of the FIS events and in response the IOC President agreed that it would be studied by the IOC during the FIS Alpine World Ski Championships in Garmisch-Partenkirchen. Following the winter season at the meeting of the IOC Executive Board on 6th April 2011, the IOC Executive Board confirmed the inclusion of six new events for the Sochi 2014 Games. They are Ski Halfpipe (men and women), Women’s Ski Jumping, Biathlon mixed Relay, Figure Skating Team Event and Luge Team Relay. Five other events - Ski Slopestyle (men and women), Snowboard Slopestyle (men and women), and Alpine Team Parallel Competition - are still subject to a
Short Summary FIS Council Meeting, Ljubljana (SLO), June 2011

further feasibility study and the decision about their inclusion is scheduled to be made by early July. The decision to include the new events was based on a report presented by the Olympic Programme Commission to the IOC Executive Board in Acapulco in October last year. The OPC studied the proposal of the individual International Sports Federations and compiled a detailed analysis of all candidate events at their respective world championships this winter. In addition, the Olympic Programme Commission looked at an operational feasibility study conducted by the organisers of the Sochi 2014 Olympic Games. The key positive factors included whether the changes would increase universality, gender equity and youth appeal, and, in general, add value to the Games. Other considerations included the cost of infrastructure, and the impact on the overall quota and the number of events.
6.
AIOWF The last General Assembly of the Association of International Olympic Winter Sports Federations (AIOWF) took place during the SportAccord Convention in London, on 6th April 2011, as well as the annual joint meeting between the Association of International Olympic Winter Sports Federations and the IOC Executive Board. For the first time a joint meeting ASOIF (Association of Summer Olympic International Federations) and AIOWF was held during which some common issues including antidoping and betting were addressed. Since the conclusion of the IOC Meeting on Illegal and Irregular Sports Betting was to create a task force including government representatives, IFs and betting companies, it is recommended that the AIOWF members establish a code of ethics which would also address betting. The ASOIF is currently working on such a code and would provide it to AIOWF once it is done. Heike Grösswang (GER) will take over as General Secretary of FIBT (Bobsleigh) from Ermanno Gardella who has served FIBT for 41 years. Following the AIOWF Meeting, the IOC has informed AIOWF that the final payment from the Vancouver 2010 Games to be divided between the 7 International Federations has been reduced from $68 million to $51 million.
7.
Sport Accord (formerly GAISF) The 45th GAISF General Assembly took place on Friday, 8th April 2011 as part of SportAccord, which included the General Assemblies of AIOWF, ASOIF (Association of Summer Olympic International Federations), ARIFS (Association of Recognised International Federations) and the IOC Executive Board. SportAccord 2012 will take place 20th to 25th May in Quebec (CAN) and in 2013 it will be hosted in Sochi (RUS).

Financial Matters 8.1
Report of the Finance Commission Sverre Seeberg, Chairman of the Finance Commission and FIS Treasurer reported on the year-end accounts for 2010, which have been audited by Wistag AG. He stated that expenditure is in line with the budget for the time being and that income has matched expectations and in some areas exceeded these. However, it was necessary to book a loss in the accounts of CHF 8 million due to the currency collapse of the €uro and US Dollar against the Swiss franc. Following an analysis of offers from UBS and Credit Suisse, on proposal of the Finance Commission, the Council decided to appoint Credit Suisse St. Moritz to carry out its asset management according to the FIS Investment Rules. Furthermore, the Finance Commission will review these rules which are designed to ensure FIS adopts a conservative strategy with its financial assets and manages the currency situation as effectively as possible, notably with €uro and US Dollar assets. The Council agreed that the reference currency in all FIS Rules will remain Swiss Francs.
8.2
Financial Support for Seminars The Council approved a number of seminars and training courses for the Technical Committees’ various TD, judges homologation, trainer seminars and courses. The Council requested the FIS Finance Manager to review the details of the costs due to the variation of costs between the different disciplines for the same activities.
8.3
Requests for financial support – FIS Solidarity On proposal of the FIS Finance Commission, the Council decided to support a number of projects and requests for assistance that conform with the criteria for FIS Solidarity applications from the National Ski Associations of Argentina, Armenia and Chile. The Council decided that all National Ski Association financial support, solidarity projects, as well as other payments wherever possible will be paid out in €uros or US Dollars.

Furthermore, the Council confirmed that all Organisers on the World Cup calendar are obliged to participate in the global contract, since any exceptions would invalidate the offer and contract. Concerning the division of income for the various Organisers, the Council commissioned the Finance Commission to prepare a split of revenues for decision, in doing so recognising the decision taken by the FIS Congress in 2006 whereby the National Ski Associations and Organisers that were able to sell these rights would receive the same level of net revenues. Thereafter, the Council approved the proposal submitted by Longines and Swiss Timing and mandated the President, Secretary General and Chairman of the Finance Commission to handle the negotiations with the European Broadcasting Union and its commercial partner in regard to rights for the FIS Alpine World Ski Championships and to conclude the contract with Longines and Swiss Timing.

14. Proposals and requests from the National Ski Associations 14.1 Change of licence The Council approved the following proposal for a change to the rules for FIS licence registration. The key element is that the Council will review all applications and the principle will be only to allow a transfer of FIS licence registration when a competitor’s life circumstances change. Furthermore, the Council agreed that applications should only be submitted before the FIS Licence year begins, therefore by the spring Meeting of the Council: Art. 203: Change of Licence to participate in FIS Races 203
Licence to participate in FIS Races (FIS Licence) A licence to participate in FIS races is issued by a National Ski Association to competitors who fulfil the criteria for participation through registering the competitor with FIS in the respective discipline(s).
203.1
The FIS licence year begins on July 1st and finishes on June 30th of the following year.
203.2
To be eligible for participation in FIS events, a competitor must have a licence issued by his National Ski Association. Such a licence shall be valid in the Northern and Southern hemispheres for the licence year only. The validity of a licence can be limited to participation in one specific country or in one or more specific events.
203.2.1 The National Ski Association must guarantee that all competitors registered with a FIS License to participate in FIS races accept the Rules of the International Ski Federation, in particular the provision which foresees the exclusive competence of the Court of Arbitration for Sport as the court of appeal in doping cases. 203.3
A National Ski Association may only issue a FIS licence to participate in FIS races when the competitor has proven his/her nationality and therefore eligibility by submitting a copy of his/her passport and signed the Athletes Declaration in the form approved by the FIS Council and returned it to his National Ski Association. All forms from under-age applicants must be counter signed by their legal guardians. Both the copy of the passport and signed Athletes Declaration must be made available to FIS on request.
203.4
During the FIS licence year, a competitor may only participate in International FIS competitions with a FIS licence to participate in FIS races issued by one National Ski Association.
203.5
Application for a change of FIS Licence Registration All applications to change licence registration from one member National Ski Association to another are subject to consideration by the FIS Council at its Meetings in the spring. In principle an application to change licence registration will not be granted unless the competitor demonstrates his/her personal association with the new nation.
Short Summary FIS Council Meeting, Ljubljana (SLO), June 2011
- 47 -
Prior to submitting an application to change licence registration aA competitor must possess the citizenship and passport of the country for which he/she wishes to compete. In addition, the competitor must have had his/her principal legal and effective place of residence in the new country for a minimum of two (2) years immediately prior to the date of the request to change registration to the new country/National Ski Association. , eAn exception to the two year residency rule may be waived where if the athlete wais born in the territory of the new country, or whose mother or father is a national of the new country. Furthermore the competitor is required to submit a detailed explanation with the application about his/her personal circumstances and the reason for requesting a change of licence registration. 203.5.1 If a competitor has already participated in FIS calendar events for a National Ski Association, he/she must have the written agreement to be released from the former National Ski Association in addition to the citizenship, passport and residency requirements in art. 203.5 before the new National Ski Association may submit a request to FIS for a change of registration. If such a written agreement is not given, the competitor may not participate in any FIS calendar events for a period of twelve months from the end of the last season in which he competed for his present National Ski Association, nor may he/she be issued with a licence to participate in FIS races by the new National Ski Association. These rules are also valid when a competitor has more than one nationality and would like to change National Ski Association licence registration. 203.5.2 The FIS Council reserves the right in its absolute discretion, to grant or to decline to grant, a change of licence notwithstanding the fulfilment of the aforementioned conditions where it deems there to be truly exceptional circumstances and it is contrary to the spirit of the rule and in the best interests of snow sportthe International Ski Federation to do so (e.g. to decline to grant a change of licence if a member National Ski Association tries to “import” a competitor). 203.5.3 In the event that a competitor does not fulfill all the criteria required to apply for a change of National Ski Association licence registration, Tthe onus shall be on the athlete competitor to demonstrate in writing to the satisfaction of the FIS Council that such exceptional circumstances exist and it is in the best interests of the International Ski Federation to grant the change. 203.5.4 Every A competitor automatically loseswill retain his old FIS points if he changes his National Ski Association. The FIS Council may grant exceptions for justifiable cases under the condition that the former National Ski Association granted the release of the competitor. 203.5.5 In the event that any of the documents for an application to change licence registration submitted by the National Ski Association (letter of release from the former National Ski Association, passport, residency papers) are found to be false, the FIS Council will sanction the competitor and the new National Ski Association.

General Characteristic DH course 702.2
General Characteristic of the Courses A Downhill is characterised by the five six components of technique, courage, speed, risk, and physical condition and judgement. It must be possible to ski the Downhill course from the start to the finish with different speeds. The athlete adapts speed and performance to his ski technical skills and to his individual self-responsible judgement.
702.3
Particular Regulations for the Course Layout Natural unevenness of the ground may be left in place. The approaches to lips and drop-offs that lead to jumps should, where possible be gradual. Fall zones and/or safety installations should be planned, where necessary, on the outside of curves. Courses should normally be approx. 30 m wide. The inspector assigned for course homologation decides whether this width is sufficient and if necessary, may order widening. He can also permit a width of less than 30 m depending on the line and terrain requirements, as long as the areas of the course before and after the narrow part permits this. Fall zones should be planned, where necessary, on the outside of curves. Possibilities to control speed should be made specifically for the approach to lips, drop offs and jumps. Not all parts of the course need necessarily to be skied at full speed. NaturalsSurfaces maybe left in their natural state. Obstacles against which competitors may be thrown if leaving the course should be as well protected as possible with high safety nets, safety fences, pads, straw in sacks, or similar appropriate means if necessary, together with slip-sheets. Unprotected, bound straw bales must not be used.The function of safety installations arrangementsmust safely withstandthe weather conditions typical of for alpine skiing.
Remove outside gate 703.1.3
At places where the outside gate must be removed in exceptional cases decided by the Jury the turning gate serves as a gate.
903.1.3
A Giant Slalom consists of a variety of long, medium and small short turns. The competitor should be free to choose his own line between the gates. The full width of a hill should be used wherever possible. At places where the outside gate must be removed in exceptional cases decided by the Jury the turning gate serves as a gate.
1003.1
At places where outside gate must be removed, in exceptional cases decided by the Jury the turning gate serves as a gate.

line of the slalom. If a competitor loses a ski, without committing a fault, e.g. not by straddling a pole, then the tip of the remaining ski and both feet must have passed the natural gate line. If the racer has not correctly passed the imaginary line from turning pole to turning pole and does not follow the natural race line, then he has to climb back up and pass around the missed turning pole. Where there is an outside pole (first and last gate, delayed gate, and combinations (hairpin, vertical) art. 661.4.1. is valid. 904.3
Where there is no outside gate, both feet and ski tips must have passed the turning pole of the turning gate on the same side, following the natural race line of the Giant Slalom.

Choice and Preparation of the Course
1223.3
A lift next to the course is essential to ensure that the races are run smoothly and rapidly.The Organiser must provide transport for the athletes back to the start in the shortest time possible.
1224
The Courses
1224.1
Each course is designated by a series of gates, poles or curve markers; each gate marker is composed of two slalom poles with a GS gate flag stretched between them and fastened in such a way so as to tear or break away (see also art. 690).
1224.2
In the case of only two courses, poles and flags are red for the course on the left going down and blue for the other course on skier´s right. If there are more than two courses, the organiser must

use different colours for the other courses such as green or orange. The bottom of the flags must be at least approx. 1 m above the snow. 1224.4.
The first gate in each course must should be placed no less than 8 m from the start and no more than 10 m.
1224.5
Shortly before the finish line, after the last gate marker, the separation between the two tracks courses must be well defined marked so that they direct each competitor towards the middle part of the respective finish.
1225
Distance between the Two Courses The distance between two corresponding markers gates (from turning pole to turning pole) must should be no less than 6 m and no more than 7 8m. The distance between the starting gates must should also be the same as between the two courses.
1226
Start
1226.1
Start Device Two hinged gates each 100 cm wide and 40 cm in height and approved by the FIS shall be used. The starting block (behind the skis)gates must be covered with teflon to protect the skis. The weight for each hinge gate is 30 kg. Opening of the gate is by electric control (battery 24 v.). The bolt (lock) system should utilise an electromagnet so that the start gun opens simultaneously the hinge gates (outwardly).capable of simultaneous and/or delayed opening and connected to the timing devices This start system could also be manually operated.
1226.2
The Jury and the starter together will control the start. The start signal can only be given after the Jury has given the competitors permission to start. Any starting system can be employed provided that the system guarantees a simultaneous start and meets 1226.1.
1226.3
False Starts
1226.3.1
If the competitor does not have at least one ski tip touching the hinge gategoes through the gate before the start command,
1226.3.2
If the competitor does not have both ski poles set in the market placesbehind the closed gate.
1226.3.3
if the competitor uses the start gates for assistance.
1226.4
Start Command Before the starter gives the command of either "Ready - Set" or "Attention - Prêt" or "Achtung - Bereit" and the subsequent firing of the starting gunstarting signal which opens the hinge start gates, he must first ensure that the competitors are ready.by asking the competitor starting in the red course "Red ready?" or "Rouge prêt?" or "Rot fertig?" and then the competitor in the blue course "Blue

ready?" or "Bleu prêt?" or "Blau fertig?". Only after both competitors have answered "yes" or "oui" or "ja", the starter can give the start command. 1226.5
If one or both starting machinestart gates have clearly been blockedfail to openthrough a mechanical fault, the start must be repeated.
1227
Finish
1227.3
It is necessary to set up visually separate finish approaches and exitsto keep the courses separated after the finish line.
1228
Jury and Course Setter
1228.2
The course setter is designated by the Jury of the competition (if he is not chosen by the FIS). Before setting the parallel course, he must conduct an inspection and study of the course in the presence of the Jury and those responsible for the course (the Chief of Race and the chief of course).
1229
Timing As the start is simultaneous, only the difference in time between the competitors at the finish will be registered. With several electric eyes and an automatic print-out, the first competitor that breaks one of the signals starts the chronometer and receives the time "zero", the following competitors stop successively the clocks (chronometers) and receive the time difference in 1/1000-seconds to the first competitor. For some special events (NTE) running times may be used to determine rankings, break ties or the award of prizes

Control of the RacesRuns The gate judges are situated on both exterior sides of the courses. Each gate judge is supplied with a flag which corresponds to the colour of the course he is controlling (either blue or red). This flag is to be used immediately to notify the Jury of a disqualification in his section of the course. An official (judge) with a yellow flag isA Jury member located approximately half way down the course. He, judges whether a gate judge's raising the red or blue flag was justified or not. The raising of the yellow flag on the red or blue course and confirms the disqualification of the competitor.
1232
Disqualifications/Did Not Finish
1232.1
Causes for disqualifications are the following: - false start (art. 1106.31226.3) - changing from one course to another - disturbing interfering with an opponent, voluntarily or not - straddling one ski inside a gate or pole with the other ski outside - turn not executed on the outside of a gate - not finishingNot passing through a gate correctly (art 661.4.2)
1232.2
If both competitors fall in either the first or second run of any round, the first competitor to reach the finish successfully will advance to the next round. If both competitors do not finish, the competitor who successfully skied the furthest distance will advance to the next round The competitor who is disqualified in, or who does not finish the first run of a heat will start the second run with a penalty time.

The competitor that does not finish or is disqualified in the first run does not start in a second runIf both competitors do not finish the second run, the result of the first run counts. If both were disqualified or did not finish the first run, the competitor who skied the furthest distance in the second run will advance to the next round. In case of a tie after two runs, the result of the first run will count.
1232.5
Penalty Time; The maximum penalty time will be 0.50 sec. In all cases the maximum time difference for the first run of each pairing can never be higher than the penalty time. If both competitors are tied after the second run the competitor who wins the second run advances to the next round. If both competitors are disqualified in the second run the competitor who skied the furthest distance before disqualification advances.

To encourage the NSA’s to make it a priority to educate coaches and trainers working with children to implement age-appropriate training methods for physical training, that physical condition of the athlete be a priority for athletic programs and that the ratio of formal training to informal or ‘free skiing or riding’ be considered to reduce overuse injury or stress. The reason is the high number of injuries to athletes, especially in Alpine, Freestyle Skiing and Snowboard, on youth and children. There are very limited statistics on injuries to children under the age of 15 and this raises a concern about monitoring the training and competition of children. There is some evidence for a high number of back injuries (almost 50%) and concussion.

The Telemark Committee International Competition Rules (ICR) The goal of the new 2200 rule is to replace the Telemark Giant Slalom event, as it was not well distinguished from Alpine ski racing events. The Telemark
Short Summary FIS Council Meeting, Ljubljana (SLO), June 2011
- 90 -
Parallel Sprint event has the media attractive combination of gate racing, jumping and Cross-Country skating in an under 1 minute format. The parallel courses are designed to be visible from the finish area and easily covered with 2 camera vantage points. This highly competitive and media friendly format will advance the Telemark sport both for the athlete and the spectator. 2200
Special Rules for Telemark Parallel Sprint
2201
Gates and Course setup
2201.1.
General
2201.1.1. In Telemark Parallel Sprint (TPS) two athletes compete simultaneously side by side down two parallel courses. The setting of the courses, the configuration of the terrain and the preparation of the snow are to be as identical as possible. The 360 turn and crosscountry section can be the same or separate for each course (see below). 2201.1.2. The length and vertical drop is decided by the slope. It is important that the whole course can be viewed from one location (preferably the finish area). Recommended vertical drop is between 100m and 150m. Race time per run should be 30 sec. to 50 sec. 2201.1.3. To ensure a speedy execution of the race it is recommended that it is possible to dismount the lift close to the start. Snowmobile can be an alternative. 2201.1.4. The course must contain Telemark turns, one jump, one 360 turn and one cross-country section. It may also contain other elements, for example moguls, banked turns, etc. 2201.2.
Gates Gates should consist of an inside turning gate only, which consists of two poles, and one flag. The distance between the two courses should be minimum 6 meters measured from the same poles at the two correlated gates.
2201.3.
360-turn The Jury can decide whether there is one 360-turn for each course or a common 360-turn for both courses.
2201.4.
Cross-Country section The cross-country section should be slightly undulated, and must be sufficiently wide that the athletes can pass each other. The Jury decides whether there is only one cross-country track for both courses or two separate.
2201.5.
Jump The height of the jump must not exceed 1 meter. The flight curve should follow the terrain. The first gate after the jump must be placed in such a distance that long jumps are not punished. The jump length should be between 5 and 15 meters.
Short Summary FIS Council Meeting, Ljubljana (SLO), June 2011

2205
Start
2205.1.
Start Ramp The Start Ramp shall be prepared in such a way that the competitors can stand relaxed on the starting line and can quickly reach full speed after leaving the start. Push off posts should be installed on the starting installation for all events. The specifications will be adjusted to the needs of the specific events.
2205.2.
Start Gates Two different procedures to start with different start gates are possible: - Simultaneously The gates have to open simultaneously for both runs and a competitor must not be able to push the gates open. - Delayed The gates have to open simultaneously in the first run. In the second run the start gates open with the time difference of the first run. Competitors must not be able to push the gates open.
2205.3.
False Starts Disqualification will take place: - If a competitor manipulates the starting gates - If a competitor tries to pass the starting gates before the final starting signal has been given (audible and/or visible).
2205.4.
Malfunction of the start gate If one or both starting gates have clearly been blocked because of technical malfunction, without the competitor touching the gate before the starting signal was given, the start must be repeated.
2205.5.
Start command Before the starter gives the command – “Go” or a single audible signal, he must first ensure that the competitors are ready by asking: “red course ready, blue course ready, attention”. “Racers ready” only can be used in connection with an audible command (series of short beeps followed by one louder starting beep when doors open).
2206
Finish The finish must be marked clearly with poles and finishing line. The width of the finishing line must be sufficient for two athletes to pass at the same time.
2208
Timing
2208.1.
Qualification The running time of each competitor will be registered with two independently homologated timing systems.
2208.2.
Finals As the start is simultaneous, only the difference in time between the competitors at the finish will be registered with two independent homologated timing systems. The first competitor that breaks one of

the signals starts the chronometer and receives the time “zero”, the following competitor (2nd) stops the clocks (chronometers) and receives the time difference in 1/100-seconds to the first competitor. 2209
Execution of the race
2209.1.
Determining the starting sequence
2209.1.1. To determine the seeding/pairing, a qualification race should be run. It is acceptable for the results of a race the day before to be used. If it is not possible to execute a qualification or to use the results of the day before, the standings in this discipline of the WC should be used. 2209.1.2. The qualification must be executed with electronic timing. 2209.1.3. The qualification is ideally a dual parallel sprint. If there is not enough time a single qualification run may be used, where the men use one course, the women the other course so that both courses get the same wear. If there is no qualification run possible the starting field must be of 32 racers. 2209.1.4. If two athletes register the same time in the qualification, the seeding is determined by actual standing of the FIS points in this discipline. 2209.1.5. See illustration for the set up of pairs.

2209.2.
Course Inspection Course inspection follows rules according to Sprint Classic (see Art. 2004 Inspection).
2209.3.
Execution
2209.3.1. Each round has two runs, with skiers racing once in each course (red and blue). 2209.3.2. The athlete with the lowest start number starts in the red course in the first run. 2209.3.3. The winner of the pair (after two runs) continues to the next round. The figure above illustrates the starting sequence. 2209.3.4. The two athletes losing the semi-final compete for the third and fourth place. The final rounds are organized so that the second run in the final is last. 2209.3.5. If both men and women, or senior and junior compete, all the finals should be run in sequence. 2211
Gates and Course Judges
2211.1.
Gates Judges
2211.1.1. The gate judges must stand outside the course on both sides. Maximum two gates per judge. 2211.1.2. The gate judges must have flags with the same color as the course they are supervising (red or blue), used to signal wrong style. 2211.2.3. The gate judges must have a yellow flag to signal disqualification. See point 2215 Disqualifications/Sanctions. 2211.2.
Course Judges
2211.2.1. The race must have two course judges one for each course. 2211.2.2. Penalties and disqualifications are indicated by the course judges after the 360-turn. Such indications must be by the use of clearly displayed colored flags. (yellow = disqualification/more than 2 penalties; green = no penalty; red = one penalty; blue = two penalties). 2212
Judging
2212.1.
The Turn
2212.1.1. The turns should be made using the Telemark Style (see Art. 1803). 2212.1.2. The jump judge and gate judge signals penalty with a flag in the same color as the course (red or blue).
Short Summary FIS Council Meeting, Ljubljana (SLO), June 2011
- 94 -
2212.1.3. For each flag a penalty of approx. 1 second of extra skating will be applied. 2212.1.4. Three or more flags (incl. jump) result in a disqualification in that run. 2212.1.5. If both athletes are disqualified in the first run, the athlete that has reached the shortest distance gets the penalty. Both athletes continue to the next run. 2212.1.6. If an athlete is disqualified in the second run, he loses the pair. 2212.1.7. If both athletes are disqualified in the second run, the athlete that has come furthest wins the pair and continues to the next round. 2212.1.8. If both athletes are disqualified in the second run, and it is difficult to determine who reached furthest, the time difference from the first run determines the winner of the pair. 2212.1.9. The jury has final decision in case of doubt. 2212.1.10. The jury can demand a re-turn of the pair. 2212.2.
The Jump
2212.2.1. There is one Jump Judge for each course. He measures distance and style. 2212.2.2. The athlete must clear the distance and has to perform Telemark style on the landing to avoid a flag in the Jump Zone. 2213
The Finish/winning the pair
2213.1.
Time difference The time difference is measured when the athletes cross the finishing line. The time difference from the first run is carried to the second run. The combined time difference determines the winner of the pair.
2213.2.
Maximum time difference The maximum time difference applicable per run is 5 seconds, whether an athlete fails to finish, is disqualified or is slower by more than 5 seconds.
2213.3.
Separate tracks The last 10 meters of the cross-country section towards the finishing line must be separate tracks for the blue and red course. The athlete cannot switch track in this section.
2215
Disqualification/ Sanctions
2215.1.
Causes for disqualifications are the following: - False start
Short Summary FIS Council Meeting, Ljubljana (SLO), June 2011
- 95 -
- Entering the wrong course, disturbing the opponent, voluntarily or not - Incorrect passing of the gate (not both skis or both feet on the right side of the gate) - Not finishing the run with at least one ski on. - Unsportsmanlike behavior in one section of the course. If the Course Judge thinks it is ground for disqualification, the jury must convence for the final decision. - Three flags. See section about Judging. 2215.2.
The competitor who is disqualified or does not finish the first run of a round will start in the second run with maximum penalty time. The maximum penalty time is 5 seconds.
2215.2.1. The competitor who is disqualified or does not finish/abandons in the second run is eliminated. 2215.2.2. In case both competitors do not finish, the competitor that passes the most gates: First run: wins the first run Second run: advance to the next round 2220
Points
2220.1.
Point scale to be applied if there is no qualification race: 1. place – 100 points 2. place – 80 poins 3. place – 60 points 4. place – 50 points 5. – 8. place – 40 points 9. – 16. place – 20 points 17. – 32. place – 10 points
2220.2.
If there is a qualification race the points according to Art. 2220.1. are applied for the ranking of the parallel race for 32 competitors. Should the final be of 16 competitors then the racers ranked 17 to 30 in the qualification race should receive the points according to Telemark World Cup points table. If the final is of 8 racers then the same principle applies starting from the 9th position points.
The Committee for Advertising Matters FIS Advertising rules, General advertising principles and rules In order to make the advertising rules easier to understand a discipline specific advertising and sponsorship manual will be created consisting of the “FIS Advertising rules”, “Specifications for competition equipment and comm commercial markings” and the respective “Discipline specific Advertising Rules and Sponsor guidelines”. 1.4
Advertising may consist of a maximum of three of the following five items:
Short Summary FIS Council Meeting, Ljubljana (SLO), June 2011
- 96 -
- a company name - a trademark - a single noun describing a product or service - a simple visual image depicting a product or service - a slogan (e.g. HeizenmitOel, Nokia connecting people)* if wordings is registered as part of a trademark. Website domain addresses (URL) as well as telephone, fax numbers and addresses on banners or as supplements are not allowed. Exceptions are to be approved by FIS and the respective National Ski Association. In general the illumination of advertising spaces is allowed as long as it corresponds to § 1.5 and the discipline specific advertising rules. The Council agreed to review the appropriate use of a slogan for advertising. 1.12
Any new or thus far not mentioned advertising opportunities need to be approved by FIS in advance of implementation.
2.2
Advertising on starting bibs The design of all starting bibs for World Cup races needs to be approved by FIS before production. Basic design elements Symbols (names and logos) of only one and the same sponsor are permitted on the front as well as the back of all starting bibs of the race. The logo, product identification, and brand identification may not exceed 1220 cm in height, whereby the letters or numbers may not exceed 10 cm. This brand identification can also be in two lines (12 cm in total height). In case that the neckline (upper border of bib) is used as a line of the above-defined brand identification, the repetition of the sponsor frequency is limited to three times. On the lower end of the starting bib a stripe of maximum 5 cm in height may show in letters not exceeding 4.5 cm in height the names and logos of a sponsor. The start number has to be positioned clearly visible for the race officials. On the left and right of the starting number each one advertising space of max. 50 cm², with a maximum height of 5 cm can be used for “tourist indications/special advertising”.
2.4
TV interview area
2.4.1
Back wall for unilateral interviews At the place designated for TV interviews, a back wall will be constructed on which the following advertising space ratio / identifications will be placed: a) the name of the locality / region 20% b) the FIS logo and the name of the official FIS World Cup title / presenter 40%
Short Summary FIS Council Meeting, Ljubljana (SLO), June 2011

c) the logos of up to a maximum of three sponsors of the race 40% 2.7
Video Screen / Wall When placing a video wall in the competition area a frame around the video wall with a width of maximum 1,5 m is possible. The sizes of logos or letters used on such a frame may not exceed 1 m and have to be in line with the discipline specific sponsor guidelines.
2.9
Identification on snow Identification on snow It is possible for tourist identification at all the Alpine races/competitions (Downhill, Super G), Snowboard Cross , and Skier Cross, up to a maximum of two times at an attractive place where no security problems occur. The space should be approx. 300x150cm. Due to security reasons an early arrangement with the FIS Race Directors has to be made about the placing and technical execution. The rights for this advertising possibility belong to the National Ski Association.
2.10
New Identifications. Any other identifications or branding like for example bannering, the use of inflatables and gate flags needs to be according to the discipline specific advertising rules.

2.3
Goggles Goggle-straps shall be as on products sold to the public and may carry two commercial markings of the actual producer, no larger than 15 cm² each in an unstretched position. However, the Council rejected the proposal to have a 1 cm² logo in the middle of the goggle frame This rule will be in place starting with the 2011-2012 season.
2.4.2
The total surface area of all commercial markings on clothing of one person shall not exceed 350 400cm² (as from season 2011/12 this increases to 400 cm²)
2.4.3
Roll necks may in addition to the 350 400 cm² also display the manufacturer`s trademark and/or sponsor, which may also be divided into two parts, with a maximum total surface of 20 cm².
2.4.4
A military symbol (emblem), indicating the national military organisation and similar organisations may be displayed on warmup suits (not on headgear or race suits), with a maximum size of 20 cm². This symbol is including within the 350 400 cm² total surface area of the commercial markings. This applies also to markings of charitable organisations.
2.5.2
The front (middle) of helmets and all headwear worn in competition and within the competition area, to include flower and prize giving ceremonies, interviews etc., must carry the identification of the National Ski Association with a minimum size of 9 6 cm².
II By-laws for commercial markings and for advertising A.3.4
For approval of commercial marking, it is strongly recommended to send a copy of all commercial markings in their original size, form and colour to FIS before use. This should be done if possible before 1st October or before the corresponding season begins in the Southern Hemisphere.
Headgear advertising The Council discussed the flagrant breaches of the rules for commercial markings with competitor’s personal sponsors on their headgear during last winter, notably the examples of Eric Guay and Thomas Morgenstern with their Red Bull helmets. The Council decided that National Ski Association and/or competitors themselves will have the opportunity to present the advertising on headgear for approval with its advertising before the season, as well as the day before competitions to the responsible FIS experts, in a similar way to suit plombing or equipment checks. In the event that the advertising does not conform to the rules, the sanctions will lead to disqualification.

The Committee for Competition Equipment Specifications for Alpine Skiing Equipment 9.2
Specifications The back protector must adapt to the anatomical bend of the athlete’s spine and lie flat against the body. The top edge of the back protector must be situated in the area of the spinal column and may not go above the 7th cervical vertebrae (C7). Fastening of the back protector may only take place with a stomach belt. The maximum thickness must be in the middle part and may not exceed 45 mm; the thickness reduces at the edges of the back protector. Designs with the view to improve aerodynamic properties are forbidden. The back protector must be worn underneath the competition suit.
6.
Crash helmets The use of crash helmets is compulsory for all events. Only helmets are permitted whose shell and padding cover the head and ears. The National Ski Associations are advised to provide their teams only with crash helmets which satisfy the minimum requirements for the respective event and which have been certified by recognised institutes. Helmets with spoilers or edges that protrude are not permitted. Certain helmets must show a smooth top surface for safety reasons. Helmets used in FIS Snowsports shall be specifically designed and manufactured for the respective discipline and shall bear a CE mark and conform to recognized and appropriate standards such as CEE 1077 or US 2040, ASTM F2040, SNELL S98 or RS 98, etc. Soft ear protections are only allowed for SL events. For alpine speed events (DH/Super G), the helmets must fulfil the following specific additional requirement: the maximum deceleration measured during the impact established based on the test described in the norm EN 1077 Class A must be equal or lower to 230g (NB: according to standard EN 1077 Class A: equal or lower to 250g). The helmet must bear a specific label / marking of minimum 1sqcm applied by the manufacturer on the outside shell and stating “DH/SG“ confirming that such requirement is fulfilled.
The Council acknowledged the significant work that has taken place with research and testing of new equipment specifications to try to reduce the risk of injuries. Nevertheless, the Council was disappointed that no proposals are forthcoming yet, although highly conscious that the scientific analysis needs to be carried out thoroughly. Consequently it was agreed to organise a meeting on 28th June 2011 with the FIS ISS project group, the Alpine Equipment Working Group and the Ski Industry to define the proposals for implementation in 2012/13. These will be submitted to the FIS Council for immediate action. Specifications for Ski Jumping Equipment 1.

Ski length According to the body weight/height relationship (BMI = body weight/body height2 in Kg/M-2). However, the maximum ski length is 145 % of the total body height of the competitor a minimum BMI of 20.5 for Ladies and 21 for Men has to be reached. For athletes with less than minimum BMI a grading table of 0,125 BMI per 0,5 % of ski length will be applied.
2.
Jumping Ski Bindings Safety bindings in Ski Jumping function as strain limiters. That is, these devices transfer specific demands occurring during skiing to an acceptable limit, and when this limit is overstepped, they release their firm hold on the ski. Additional devices creating foreign energy of any kind as an aid to take-off are forbidden. The complete binding system must be mounted so, that the Ski Jumping shoes are fixed to the skis symmetrically, parallel and centrally to the running direction. After fixing the front part of the jumping shoe into the front part of the binding it must stay fixed and horizontal to the top surface of the ski. The outline of the heel wedge of the shoe sole in its normal production form may not protrude over the side-walls of the Jumping ski.
4.
Ski Jumping suits All portions of the ski jumping suit must be made of the same material (see 4.2) and must show the same air permeability from the outside in and from the inside out. The suit must close by means of a zipper placed at the centre of the front, which reaches to the collar. The width of this zipper may not exceed 10 15 mm. During the jump the zipper must be completely closed.
The Athletes’ Commission Doping Sanctions In 2009, the WADA code was ratified to include a 'sliding-scale' for penalties a federation could impose in doping cases. This included a 1-year ban for cases of inadvertent doping (such a cough syrup), and went all the way up to a 4-year ban for cases of "aggravated" doping (when it had been proven that the doping was deliberate and intended for enhancing performance - such as EPO, steroids, etc). As FIS is within their legal rights to do so, and WADA encourages it, the Athletes’ Commission strongly recommends that FIS be a leader among international federations and hands out 4-year suspensions for aggravated doping cases. As the voice of clean athletes who want to deter doping in sport, the Athletes Commission believes handing out 4-year suspensions in aggravated cases would go a long way and could be quite effective in deterring doping. B Sample The FIS Athlete’s Commission’s strongly opposes eliminating the B sample, which will be discussed by the WADA Executive Board in the autumn, in order

to protect the athletes in cases where there is a remote possibility that the A sample is positive but the B is negative. Athletes Declaration In regards to the following section of the Athletes Declaration: “I will conduct my own inspection of training and competition courses. I will immediately notify the jury of any safety concerns I may have. I understand that I am responsible for the choice of the appropriate equipment and of its condition, for the speed at which I race and for the selection of my line through the course.” Because it is the personal responsibility of the athlete to notify the jury of any concerns he or she has about the course and/or conditions of the race, the Athletes Commission recommends the adoption of a standard procedure that allows the athlete to officially submit his or her concerns in writing, potentially using a standard form that is submitted to the FIS as part of the TD report following each World Cup competition. This procedure should be determined separately by the Sub-Committee for Rules and Controls from each discipline to be included in the ICR.

Athletes Commission The members of the FIS Athletes Commission were elected in 2009 for a period of 4 years. In the event that an athlete is really unable to continue with their duties due to a change of life circumstances, then the 2nd placed athlete in the election will replace them, subject however to confirmation by the FIS Council in view of the nationality rules that only one athlete per nation can be a member of the Athletes Commission. After the retirement of the representative for Ski Jumping, Andreas Küttel (SUI) a new member for this discipline has to be nominated since he was the only candidate and therefore a new election will have to take place for the remainder of the period. Furthermore it will be necessary to add a representative of the Ladies’ ski jumpers. The Council decided that since the next FIS World Championships are only held in 2013, an election will be organised during the World Cup season 2011/2012 (or Summer Grand Prix) for both positions. Honorary Members of FIS Committees Following their retirement as Committee Members, the Council elected the following honorary members of FIS Committees and thanked them for their many years of valued service for international skiing: -
Asle Bergström, NOR (20 years of service) – Sub-Committee for Alpine Courses Peter Lakota, SLO (41 years of service) – Sub-Committee for Alpine Courses Walt Evans, USA – Sub-Committee for Youth and Children´s Questions Christian Knauth, AUT (18 years of service) – Committee for Public Relations and Mass Media
