sanctions against betting that threatens the integrity of sport and urged all other
relevant Olympic organisations to follow their example. The IOC will remain
vigilant and commit sufficient resources to this effort. The conclusion of the
meeting was to create a task force including government representatives, IFs and
betting companies to address the existing systems and the task forces already in
place.

Lauterwasser.
-
The IOC Executive Board addressed the eligibility of female athletes with
hyperandrogenism and confirmed the need to set up clear rules to determine the
eligibility of female athletes in female competitions, starting with the Olympic
Games in London next year. It was also agreed to recommend that International
Sports Federations adopt similar rules for their own competitions, duly adapted to
meet the specificities of the sport concerned.
-
The second Sport for Peace and Development Forum was organised by the IOC
and the United Nations at the UN headquarters in Geneva. It’s main objectives

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
-7-
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).
During the SportAccord General Assembly in London, Hein Verbruggen was reelected for another 4 year term as President of the organisation.
-8-
Vincent Gaillard has been appointed as new Director General of SportAccord to lead
the organisation as of 1st July 2011. He joins SportAccord from the Coca Cola
Company where he was involved with the strategic planning and operational delivery
of Olympic Games and FIFA World Cup sponsorships since 1998.

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.
-9-
8.4
Aid and Promotion Programme for Developing Ski Nations
At its Meeting in Antalya, the Council approved the written report on the
programme “Aid and Promotion for developing ski nations” for 2010/2011 and
the budget for the period 1st May 2011 - 30th April 2012.
It was possible to approve the budget for the coming activity year, even though
it exceeds the amount of the registration fees from the candidates for the FIS
World Championships in 2016 and 2017, since there are reserves from the
previous period of the Aid & Promotion programme.
The Council acknowledged the comprehensive activities for the developing ski
nations through the programme and the active participation of many new
nations that are building up their competence.

as a significant financial contribution for the corresponding marketing rights.
The Council expressed its great pleasure about this commitment shown by a
long-term and loyal support of skiing, after many years of various negotiations
to try to secure a partner for these services and rights. 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

Concerning the division of income for the various Organisers, the Council
commissioned the Finance Commission to prepare a split of revenues for

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

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.
9.3
“Bring Children to the Snow”
At its Meeting in Ljubljana the Council reviewed the latest activities from the past
season in relation to the Bring Children to the Snow Campaign and received the
report on the inaugural FIS World Snow Day that will be carried out on 22nd
January 2012.
During the season many discussions took place with different stakeholders
including the ski industry, tourism organisations, the international ski instructor’s
association, the ski lift association, government representatives, as well as
numerous Organising Committees of FIS World Cup events in relation to the World
Snow Day concept.
Key activities that have taken place over the past six months include:
Activating Snow Desire: International Communication Campaign
- The concept and planning for the first FIS World Snow Day on the 22nd
January 2012 is well underway and was presented to several Committees,
World Cup Organisers’ seminars and other stakeholders during the FIS
Calendar Conference in Portoroz (SLO) in June 2011. To help manage the
- 12 -
project Andrew Cholinski has been recruited to the World Snow Day team to
complement his studies in the final year of his double degree as Bachelor of
Management in Leisure and a Bachelor of International Studies at the
University of Technology Sydney. A former competitive snowboarder until
the age of 18 he has travelled all over Europe, Japan, Canada and North
America. As part of his International Studies degree, Andy is living in
Fribourg (SUI) for one year and will primarily be responsible for the website
development and WSD communications.
-
There have been many new developments in connection with the FIS World
Snow Day, one of them is the website www.world-snow-day.com which was
launched at the FIS Calendar Conference in Portoroz in June. At the same
time the registration process for local event organisers was made available.
-
The website will be the key promotional platform for the World Snow Day
and its event organisers. It is home to a huge array of tools from event
locators to event profiles, World Snow Day event planning guides, event
ideas and finally a live update system which allows event organisers to
update their profile and keep people informed of their event's progress.
-
The 10 Rules for Conduct for skiers and snowboarders in the new FIS
SnowKidz ‘look’ were finalised. Templates in three languages (En, Fr, Ge)
are available and the international response has been very positive. Two
NSAs have already taken advantage of translating the template in their own
language.
-
The electronic toolkit for the National Ski Associations on the website
continues to grow. The number of visitors and requests for login for the
member section of the www.fis-snowkidz.com website has significantly
increased during the last year. The new FIS SnowKidz design for 'Ten
Rules of Conduct' was one of the major triggers of interest among the
nations as well as support for youth and children projects with gifts for
children in FIS SnowKidz design.
-
The 2nd FIS SnowKidz Award will be presented at the 48th International Ski
Congress in May 2012 to recognise and promote the best examples of
bringing children to the snow in varying national circumstances. Some
revision of rules and optimisation of the application process is underway.
Enabling Snow Experience: National Activity Campaign
- Upon announcement of the World Snow Day, positive international interest
has been growing. Several nations are in the process of planning activities
in connection with the first World Snow Day in 2012.
-
During last season’s FIS World Championship across all FIS disciplines,
many children had the unique possibility to try out different snow activities
and meet their ski heroes. In connection with the FIS Nordic Ski
Championships in Oslo, more than 200’000 youth and children had the
chance to explore, enjoy and sample great experiences ahead of, during
and after the championships.
-
More than ten National Ski Associations and World Cup Organisers took
advantage of using the FIS SnowKidz event materials, including three tents,
numerous beach flags and banners. During the season FIS office supported
- 13 -
several National Ski Associations and World Cup Organisers with
promotional gifts in FIS SnowKidz design for ongoing youth and children
projects.
Upcoming Activities Season 2011/2012
- Finalisation of the World Snow Day concept and launch of website at
www.world-snow-day.com

Ski Associations and their World Cup Organisers at the 2011 FIS Calendar
Conference in Portoroz (SLO).

other things.

FIS Marketing AG
The Council acknowledged the report of Christian Pirzer, CEO of FIS Marketing
AG and the progress being made with the various projects, notably the
marketing of the FIS Cross-Country World Cup that was successfully carried
out for the first time in 2010/11.
As from 2012/13, FIS Marketing will handle the title sponsorship for the three
Nordic disciplines and Viessman has agreed to be the title sponsor.
The overall financial result of the company is better than originally anticipated
and it is projected that there will be profit in 2012. In the meantime, the Council
agreed to provide an interim loan of € 50’000 to bridge FIS Marketing’s shortfall
from the financing of the marketing rights for the Cross-Country World Cup from
the 2010/11 season.

13. FIS World Cup Calendars 2011/2012 to 2013/2014
On proposal of the respective Technical Committees, the Council confirmed the minor
modifications submitted by the respective Technical Committees to the FIS World Cup
calendars 2011/2012 with the exception of Freestyle Skiing (please see following
pages for the respective calendars).
Furthermore, the Council approved the calendars for the following seasons and made
the following comments:
-
The Ski Jumping Committee is requested to review the calendar for Ladies Ski
Jumping 2011/12 due to the excessive travelling.
-
The Council agreed that the proposal from the Committee for Nordic Combined to
have three instead of two events on certain weekends would be carried out on a
trial basis for 2011/12 and reviewed in spring 2012.
-
The calendar for Freestyle Skiing 2011/12 was tabled for the inclusion of Ski
Halfpipe events following its recent inclusion on the programme of the Olympic
Winter Games. Several nations France, Norway and Switzerland have submitted
bids that are being reviewed.
-
The Alpine World Cup Sub-Committee was requested to take the following
remarks into account:
-
Consideration for technical races in central Europe, Czech or Slovakia before
2015
- 22 -
-
Council Member Peter Schroecksnadel raised concern about having four
races taking place in one location. He proposed to consider a Tuesday
evening race for giant slalom or slalom.
-
In view of the upcoming FIS Alpine World Ski Championships, VicePresident Bill Marolt requested consideration of a giant slalom in Beaver
Creek in 2013/14 and 2014/15.

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.
- 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.

***
Cayman Islands
The Council confirmed that for FIS registration, it is necessary to have a
Caymanian passport and not only a British Overseas Territory passport with
Cayman Status as evidenced by a Government stamp contained in the
passport which determines the right of permanent abode and the right to live
and work in the Cayman Islands. This policy is also adopted by the IOC in
relation to participation in the Olympic Winter Games and Youth Winter Olympic
Games.
14.2 Proposals and requests from the Technical Committees
The majority of the Technical Committees and their Sub-Committees met in
Portoroz (SLO) from 31st May to 5th June 2011 and the following proposals were
approved by the Council at its Meeting in Ljubljana:
- 49 -
ICR - 200's (all disciplines)
225.1.2
The Chairman shall appoint 3 members, which may include
himself, to the Appeals Commission from the Discipline Rules
Sub-Committee (or Discipline Committee if there is no Rules
Sub-committee) for each case appealed or submitted to be
heard, whose decisions shall be by majority vote.
The Cross-Country Committee
International Competition Rules
317.1.2
For all mass start competitions the coaches must maintain a fixed
position while giving refreshment to the competitor.While giving
refreshments to the competitors, coaches must maintain a fixed
position.
320.2.4
At OWG, WSC, JWSC, and WC and COC competitions, FIS
officials and Jury members must be provided a working room with
a good view on the stadium in the immediate vicinity of the
stadium.
After the draw at OWG, WSC, JWSC and international
competitions with limited team entries, reserves may only be
substituted for a competitor if the originally drawn competitor cannot
start due to force majeure (injury, illness, etc., certified by a
medical doctor) and if the Jury permits the substitution. If the
withdrawn competitor was selected for doping control then this test
must still be carried out and must also be carried out on the
substitute competitor. If the withdrawn competitor produces a
positive test, no substitute is allowed.
335.1.1
In case of an accident during the warming up the Jury can permit
the substitution later than 2 hours before the start if the accident is
reported to and certified by the OC’s Medical Doctor or Medical
Service.
340.1.4
In all competitions obstruction is defined as deliberately impeding,
blocking (by not following best line), charging or pushing any
competitor with any part of the body or ski equipment. When
overtaking occurs, competitors must not cause any obstruction. In
general it is the responsibility of the overtaking skier to avoid any
obstruction.
The responsibility for a correct passing without obstruction is on
the overtaking skier. The overtaking skier must have his/her skis in
front of the skis of the overtaken skier before skiing a best line.
340.1.7
For OWG, WSC and WC, in Pursuit competitions, Mass start,
Team Sprint and Relay competitions, competitors or teams, who
are lapped or instructed by competition officials to stop the
competition, must abandon the competition. In all competitions the
competitors or teams will be ranked in the final results (no time)
according to their ranking at their last intermediate timing point last
position when on the course.
- 50 -
342.1.1
Ski marking will not be used unless requested in advance by the
sanctioning body of the competition. For purposes of control, both
skis are marked immediately before the start. The competitor must
come to the official marking place in person and in due time
wearing his starting bib.
351.5.1
For competitions using interval starts or pursuit starts (Pursuit with
a break) any competitor who makes a false start will not be
recalled to the start line by a race official or Jury Member. These
false start infractions must be reported to the Jury and the Jury will
decide on the appropriate sanction.
Early start infractions will normally be sanctioned by minimum 15
seconds penalty added to actual start time.
351.3.2
The mass start should be carried out using a handicap start
system. This means that the highest ranked athlete (FIS Points
List) has the most favorable start position followed by the next
highest ranked athlete or team etc. This can be organized using
angled start lines (arrow >>>) with each competitor separated by a
fixed distance interval.
Number one will be in the middle position, even numbers are
placed on the right and odd numbers on the left side of the arrow.
352.1.3
For OWG, WSC, WJSC and WC sprint qualifying round, sprint
heats and team sprint semi-finals, start and finish times are
recorded to 1/1000 precision and the final result is determined to
1/100 precision. For other FIS sprint competitions it is possible to
use timing equipment that only has 1/100 precision but still the
final results report the hundredths of a second.
360.3.2.2
For the 6th positions in the semi-final heats the next two fastest
competitors from the quarterfinal heats who are ranked 3rd or 4th
will be advanced. The fastest will be assigned to S1 and the next
fastest to S2. For the A-Final the 1st & 2nd ranked competitor from
each Semi-final heat are assigned to the A-Final plus the next 2
fastest competitors from either Semi-final heat who are ranked 3rd
or 4th will also be assigned to the A final, all other Semi-finalists
are assigned to the B-Final. In case of equal times in the heats for
positions 5 and 6 (lucky losers), their qualification times will apply.
If the tie still remains current sprint FIS points will apply; if tie still
remains, then it will be broken by a draw.
360.3.10
Obstructions can also be sanctioned by competition suspension
(ranking the competitor in last place of the relevant heat and
relevant round) accompanied by a written reprimand (see art.
223.3)
360.6.2
During quarter- and semi-finals, ICR 224.7 does not apply.
361.3.1
The team with the lowest sprint-points among distance and sprint
FIS points of relay team members starts as number one, the team
with the second lowest score as number two and so on. In the

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.

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. 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

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
- 69 -
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
- 70 -
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
1230
Execution of a Parallel on Two Courses
Each match heat between two competitors consists of two runs, the
two competitors change courses for the second run.
1230.2
Formation into PairsHeats
1230.2.1
Sixteen pairs heats of competitors are formed......
1230.2.3
Start order: following the order of the appended table, from top to
bottom. All groups heats race in succession their first run and then
their second.
The lower starting number goes down the red course first, the
higher number the blue course. For the second run it is reversed.
This same system is used for all elimination runsrounds including
the finals.
1230.3
Round of sixteen
1230.3.2
These races are also run in two runs. There are eight that qualify for
the quarter-finals.
1230.3.3
If the results of a parallel event are to count toward overall standings
such as the FIS World Cup, then the finish positions for the 9th to
- 71 -
15th position will be obtained by using the results of the second
elimination round. The competitors will be placed in order starting
with the smallest losing time margin obtained in the second
elimination round.If there are eliminated racers, the evaluation is
done according to the number of runs or gates runThe losing eight
competitors receive the same rank (9th).
1230.4
Quarterfinals
1230.4.1
The eight qualified competitors start according to the start system in
pairs from top to bottom.table
1230.4.2
From the losing four competitors, positions 5, 6, 7 and 8 are
determined by the time difference of each loser from the winnerThe
losing four competitors receive the same rank. (5th).
1230.5
Semi-finals and Final
1230.5.1
The four qualified competitors start according to the start system
from top to bottomtable.
1231
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.
1232.3
The competitor who is disqualified in, or does not finish the second
run of a heat is eliminated
- 72 -
1232.34
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. If both competitors are disqualified
at the same gate in the second run then the competitor who won the
first run will advance.
1233
Slalom Rules
In the case of issues or items not covered in 1220 – 1232 the Rules
for Slalom (Art 800) must be considered. Special Rules for Cups

Execution of Parallel Events
2509.1.1.2 Two runs Qualifying
A separate qualifying run will be set (one course for ladies one for
men – dependent upon the number of competitors the Jury may
decide to utilize only one course). Whenever possible both runs
should be held on the same day. This run must be similar to the
Parallel courses, i.e. number of gates, fall line, and inclination. All
competitors get one run on this course – the top 8 timed ladies and
8 men are qualified directly to the finals. Places 9-24 for the ladies
and places 9-32 for the men have a second run on the same course
but in reverse start order (place 9 starts first, place 24/32 starts last).
Again the top 8 ladies and 8 men (only by the time from the second
run) are qualified for the finals.
2509.1.2.1 Parallel Qualifying System

same or similar to the parallel finals courses.
This Qualification system consists of two runs that whenever
possible should be held on the same day:
- 79 -
Qualification run (1st run):
In the Qualification run, all competitors are sorted according to their
FIS points ranking (except a random draw for the top 16). Each
competitor has one time run – odd numbers (1,3,5,...) on red
course, even numbers (2,4,6,...) on blue course.
The top 16 ranked ladies and men on the red and the top 16 ranked
ladies and men on blue course (32 ladies and 32 men) advance to
the Elimination round.
Elimination run (2nd run - 32 ladies and 32 men):
Course exchange: The top 16 ladies and men from the red course
qualification run on the blue course. The top 16 ladies and men from
the blue course qualification run on the red course. Run 1 from the
qualification and run 2 from the Elimination will be added together
(“one red run and one blue run”). The top timed 16 athletes per
gender advances to the finals. The start order will be the reversed
ranking order of the first qualification run. Place 16 goes first, place
15... place 1. If there is a tie at place 16 in the first qualification run.
Ranking:
The competitors who participate in both qualification and elimination
run will be ranked according to their total time of two runs. The
remaining competitors will be ranked according to their results of the
first qualification run.
2509.1.2.2 Tie-Breaking in Qualification
If two or more competitors with two qualification runs are tied, the
ties will be broken by the best run of two. If they are still tied the tie
will be broken using the highest current World Cup Standings (at
World Cup competitions) or current FIS points (at WSC and
FIS/COC level competitions). If they are still tied all will receive the
same rank but the competitor with the higher bib number will be
ordered first. The exception is if they are tied for the 16th place (see

Special tasks - e.g. qualification round for Ski/Snowboard Cross at the Olympics
Coordination Group for General Youth & Children’s Questions
-
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.
-
To remind the NSA’s of the procedure for nomination to the SubCommittees for proper and consistent representation, although the Youth &
Children’s Coordination Group is very pleased to see the high level of
participation.

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.
- 91 -
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
- 92 -
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.
- 93 -
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).
- 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.
- False start
- 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
5. – 8. place – 40 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:
- 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%
- 97 -
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.
3.1.3
Finishing posts, gates, course-markers and
3.2.3

Gate Flags
On the red and blue gate flags and course-markers, it shall be
permitted to identify (name or logo) the locality and/or a sponsor.
However, this identification must be printed on both sides.
In all cases the type of flags must be identical and conform to the
respective article of the ICR.

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.

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

Geometric features
- 101 -
1.2.1.1
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
- 102 -
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 International Ski Federation (FIS)
Our story
FIS is the governing body for international skiing and snowboarding.
Founded in 1924 during the first Olympic Games in Chamonix, France, the
International Ski Federation (FIS) directs the development of all ski and snowboarding
activities world-wide, as well as their promotion.
FIS is responsible for the Olympic disciplines of Alpine Skiing, Cross-Country Skiing,
Ski Jumping, Nordic Combined, Freestyle Skiing and Snowboarding, including setting
the international competition rules. It is the body recognised by the International
Olympic Committee and carries out the technical organisation of the competitions in
the six FIS disciplines at the Olympic Winter Games. Through its 112 member
nations, more than 6’000 FIS ski and snowboard competitions are staged annually,
each under the supervision of a FIS technical delegate.
Of the activities for recreational skiing and snowboarding, the Rules for Conduct are
considered globally as the laws for the conduct on the pistes. Specific initiatives are
undertaken by FIS to promote snow activities as a healthy leisure recreation, notably
for the young.
The vision of FIS is for skiing and snowboarding to be the first choice winter sport
and recreational activity.
Our mission - what FIS does
FIS is committed to the global promotion and development of recreational and
competitive skiing and snowboarding.
A key role of FIS is to organise a structure of international competitions and create a
pathway from national competitions through to the highest level of World Cup, World
Championships and the Olympic Winter Games. It ensures coherence and
consistency in managing the different disciplines.
- 107 -
FIS provides technical support to the Organising Committees to carry out top level
competitions. It pursues activities to reduce serious injuries to the athletes, to have
safe competitions and to have a no tolerance policy against doping
FIS has a long established policy limiting any negative impact on the environment in
which the sport takes place, while seeking to ensure sustainability of skiing.
Extensive coverage of competitions in the media is designed to promote the sport as
widely as possible, as well as seeking support from partners to invest in the sport.
FIS’ commercial activities are designed to generate resources to invest in the sport
and support its global development. Significant financial support is distributed to the
FIS member National Ski Associations to help develop their activities.
The goal of FIS is to stimulate persons from all walks of life, especially youngsters,
to participate in this sport.
