Nordiq Canada Competition Officials Manual Nordiq Canada Competition Officials Manual A Technical Manual for the Organization of Cross Country Ski Events Version 4.016, August 2020 Alan White, Editor Nordiq Canada Competition Officials Manual August 2020 | i Preface This publication has been prepared for the Events Committee of Nordiq Canada. It is designed to facilitate the development of a “Canadian Standard” for the officiating of Cross Country Ski competitions. Preparation of this material has involved officials from across the country - people who have a great deal of experience in race and event organization, from club to international events. This version of the Manual tries to reflect the changes that have occurred over the past decade since the last edition. These changes include the use of sophisticated equipment and technology for highly-precise timing and very fast results production, as well as new formats of races. As a result, officials in this sport must also be kept up to date in order to be able to officiate in all levels of events. The Manual has been kept as ‘technology neutral’ as possible because we never know what advances in technology may bring before the Manual is updated. It is assumed that officials will develop expertise outside the contents of this Manual when it comes to handling technology. This Manual has evolved with the premise that the way to run and officiate a cross country ski race at any level is best reflected in the way to run a national championship. World Cups, World Championships and Olympics involve processes and resources of the Fédération Internationale de Ski (FIS) which do not apply to domestic events. Treating domestic FIS races similarly to Nationals gives consistency of event delivery. Division Cups should present a sub-set of that level of organization with local events reflecting a further sub-set. By training all officials to the same high standard, the processes and equipment will be very familiar to everyone, so hosting such an event should be quite routine. It may not be necessary for a local one-day event to use all the processes and resources described here, but intelligent study of this Manual should provide you with the appropriate resource knowledge to be able to determine what to omit. Competitions in Canada are governed by the Canadian Competition Rules which incorporate the FIS International Competition Rules (ICR). While reference is made in the Manual to certain rules by number it is important to be guided by a check on the latest version of the Rules before making decisions. I would like to acknowledge the contributions of those who so kindly gave of their time and extensive knowledge: Valuable contributions were made in their respective areas of expertise by Al Maddox, Len Apedaile, Ken Hewitt, Mike Norton, Debra Friendly, Stephanie Marler, Dirk Van Wijk and Frances Norlen. Finally Lisa Marr-Laing has been tireless in proofing to make sure terminology and grammar is consistent throughout the document. The result of these efforts is this up-to-date Manual. I thank everyone for their very diligent, timely, and graciously- given expertise, experience and time. It has been a great deal of work for everyone. It is expected that this Manual will be kept up to date. New versions with the updated sections will be made available to all through the Nordiq Canada web site. A list of changes will also be provided so that you will need to save only those pages that have changed to maintain a current manual. I trust that this Manual will help all officials in Canada upgrade their skills in order that all competitors can enjoy the pleasure of well-run and fairly-officiated events.

Johnsen Company of Portland. Despite these early glimmers of skiing awareness, when the sport began its ascendancy to popularity in the 1930s, the state’s likeliest venues were more distant, and public land ownership less widespread, than was the case in the neighboring states of New Hampshire and Vermont, and ski area development in those states was consequently greater.

Received: 17 August 2020; Accepted: 15 December 2020; Published: 18 December 2020 Abstract: Climate change affects snowpack properties indirectly through the greater need for artificial snow production for ski centers. The seasonal snowpacks at five ski centers in Central Slovakia were examined over the course of three winter seasons to identify and compare the seasonal development and inter-seasonal and spatial variability of depth average snow density of ski piste snow and uncompacted natural snow. The spatial variability in the ski piste snow density was analyzed in relation to the snow depth and snow lances at the Košútka ski center using GIS. A special snow tube for high-density snowpack sampling was developed (named the MM snow tube) and tested against the commonly used VS-43 snow tube. Measurements showed that the MM snow tube was constructed appropriately and had comparable precision. Significant differences in mean snow density were identified for the studied snow types.

Beginnings of Bicycle Manufacturing in Austria and Weishaupt Verlag • www.weishaupt.at Styria (1885 – 1889) High wheel bicycles first appeared in Austria-Hungary in 1880. Since they were originally imported from England, they were called “bicycles”. The word Fahrrad came later (though in Swiss German, Velo became the established term). Regular production of high wheel bicycles in Austria-Hungary began in Jan Kohout’s factory for agricultural machines in Smíchov, near Prague, in 1880, following English designs. Kohout’s sons Josef and Petr made a name for themselves and the bicycles as successful racers. Smaller makers before 1885, such as Valentin Wiegele in Korpitsch near Villach, only became known locally. In Vienna, Karl Greger’s Velociped-Fabrik started making high wheel bicycles in 1884 under the brand name ‘Austria’; the annual output seems to have reached 300–400 bicy- cles. In 1896, Greger was mentioned as “the oldest bicycle factory of Austria and one of the largest on the continent”, and as “ founder of the bicycle industry in Austria-Hunga- ry”. At about the same time as Greger, Carl Goldeband and the sewing-machine factory of H. Wagner also began making bicycles in Vienna. In the years from 1885 to 1889, there is good evidence that bicycles were also being made by Mathias Allmer, Josef Benesch und Josef Eigler in Graz, Johann Jax in Linz, Josef Fritsch in Eger (Cheb), Julius Mickerts und Otto Schäffler in Vienna, Nicolaus Heid in Stockerau, near Vienna and G.

  • Classification Information Sheet Para-Cross Country Skiing
    Classification Information Sheet Para-Cross Country Skiing This information is intended to be a generic guide to classification for Para-Cross Country Skiing. The classification of athletes in this sport is performed by authorised classifiers according to the World Para Nordic Skiing classification rules. What is the classification process? Trained classifiers assess an athlete using the World Para Nordic Skiing classification rules to determine the following: 1. Does the athlete have an eligible impairment type? An athlete must have a permanent eligible impairment type and provide medical documentation detailing their diagnosis and health condition. 2. Does the athlete meet the minimum impairment criteria for the sport? Specific criteria applied to each sport to determine if a person’s impairment results in sufficient limitation in their sport. This is called the minimum impairment criteria. 3. What is the appropriate class to allocate the athlete for competition? Classes are detailed in the classification rules for the sport and a classifier determines the class an athlete will compete in. Which Paralympic impairment groups compete in Para-Cross Country Skiing? Athletes are required to have a permanent, eligible impairment and will be required to provide medical diagnostic information about their diagnosis and impairment. Eligible Impairment Type Examples of health conditions Vision Reduced or no vision in both eyes caused by damage to the eye structure, optical Impairment nerves/optic pathways, or visual cortex of the brain.
