Alpine Skiing: Including the athletes
The Autumn Meetings for Alpine Skiing traditionally feature official meetings of the main Committee and its various Sub-Committees as well as working groups for the World Cup coaches (ladies and men), Timing and Data as well as Alpine Competition Equipment. This year, the major topics of discussion included the changes to the race skis from season 2012/13 on which a detailed information session was hosted, and the future strategy for super combined.
The Alpine Executive Board also discussed the involvement of athletes in the decision-making processes and thereafter the Alpine Committee has submitted the two proposals for consideration by the FIS Council Meeting to nominate an elected member of the FIS Athletes’ Commission, who is also an active competitor, as a member of the Executive Board of the FIS Alpine Committee; as well as the inclusion of an athletes’ representative, representing the majority of the athletes participating in the event and named from among the top 15 competitors participating, as the liaison to be in direct contact with the Competition Jury regarding proposals and requests on training and race days, or after training runs.
Additionally, small adaptations to the rules regarding the start position for competitors returning from injury, specifications for gate panels and the World Cup entry processes will be submitted to the Council.
