Freestyle: Olympic focus
The upcoming Olympic Winter Games Vancouver 2010 were one of the major focus areas for the FIS Freestyle Committee meetings in Zurich. In practice, this included work to tidy up the rules and make final refinements especially for ski cross which will make its Olympic debut in some 135 days. Specifically a new measurement tool for ski cross uniform testing was evaluated and accepted. Moreover, FIS Freestyle is working hard with the Olympic Broadcasting Services (OBS) to prepare and deliver a live helmet cam solution for the Olympic ski cross competitions.
Other main topics included the development and evaluation of potential future events, such as Freestyle slopestyle and big air which are highly popular among the younger generations. The coming months will see the Committee Members working to conduct a detailed assessment of the current situation and begin development of the discipline's ten-year strategic plan called Freestyle '2020 Vision' which will be presented for discussion during the FIS Congress 2010 in Antalya.
