Work for Sochi 2014 ORIS underway
Recording, verifying, displaying and distributing competition data, especially results, will be one of the most vital aspects of the competitions during the Sochi 2014 Games. This summer, the Olympic Results Information Service (ORIS) is being thoroughly reviewed during individual sessions for each of the six FIS Olympic disciplines in Lausanne. Since early June, the FIS professionals per discipline and FIS IT experts have gathered with the IOC experts for four-day sessions to confirm that the very latest version of the International Competition Rules for each FIS discipline is correctly reflected in the Sochi 2014 version of ORIS, thereby ensuring that the Olympic competitions results and information services conform to the latest rules. While June entailed the sessions for Cross-Country, Snowboarding and Ski Jumping, the respective workshops for Nordic Combined and Freestyle will take place in August, with Alpine Skiing in October.
The ORIS system is based on a consultative process between the IOC, the respective IFs and the Olympic Local Organizing Committee. Initially launched as the Infotech Summer project, it was first used at the XVIII Olympic Winter Games in 1998 in Nagano under the name of ORIS. Each edition of the Games since then has seen innovations in the provision of timely results and Games information especially geared to meet the needs of the global media broadcasting and reporting from the Games. The goal of ORIS is to ensure a smooth delivery of the competition information on site, but also represents an essential technology independent written documentation of all Olympic sport rules and their implementation to competition situations.
FIS ORIS Project Manager Francesco Cattaneo commented: "The ORIS sessions provides an important review of this critical element of Olympic organization. However they also offer a very useful chance for exchange and brainstorming between the seven Winter IFs and the IOC which also helps us to optimize our processes. This time around, besides ORIS, the work has also included establishing YORIS, or the version of ORIS for the first edition of the Winter Youth Olympic Games in Innsbruck in January 2012."
