The fact that we are bringing him to HEAD in these difficult times is also an indication of our clear commitment to racing," says HEAD Racing Director Rainer Salzgeber. "It's awesome that with Vincent Kriechmayr and Matthias Mayer we now have the two best speed discipline skiers in Austria, who are also training together using our equipment. I expect not only advantages for us from this constellation. I am sure that with HEAD they can both take another step forward. Vincent Kriechmayr's focus is of course on the speed disciplines, but he also wants to nail the Giant Slalom next season." "I was looking for a new challenge and would like to take the next step as a HEAD World Cup Rebel. It's because of the success HEAD has had in recent years that I looked for a way of racing with them. I get on well with all the people here at HEAD, and I immediately felt good with the equipment.

Ex Aequo Im Individual-Sport Mehr Fairness Und Respekt Für Athlet*Innen
„L“EX AEQUO IM INDIVIDUAL-SPORT MEHR FAIRNESS UND RESPEKT FÜR ATHLET*INNEN von Ernst Löschner Abstract In diesem Essay mit dem Titel „Lex Aequo im Individual-Sport“ stellt der Autor 3 Vorschläge zur Diskussion, die – sollten sie angenommen werden – die olympischen Spiele und Weltmeisterschaften wie auch Weltcup-Bewerbe, wie wir sie kennen, nachhaltig verändern würden. Er begründet, warum es immer drei Medaillen oder „Stockerlplätze“ und eine Neu-Ordnung der Punkteregeln geben soll, und zwar unabhängig von der Anzahl der geteilten Platzierungen bzw. Sieganwärter, und warum es durch die Einführung von „Toleranz“-Regeln bei vielen Wettkämpfen mehr Fairness und ex-aequo-Platzierungen geben würde, und auch geben sollte. Dadurch würden viele - nicht nur von den Betroffenen oft als extrem ungerecht, wenn nicht sogar als „lächerlich“ empfundene - „Härtefälle“ vermieden werden bzw. würde der Respekt und die Würde der Athlet*innen einen größeren Stellenwert bekommen. Es wird dabei auch nachgewiesen - z.B. für Alpinrennen und beim Skisprung -, wie durch eine entsprechende Programmierung bei der Zeitnehmung diese ex-aequo-Platzierungen unmittelbar, automatisch und anonym zustande kommen könnten. Anhand von konkreten Beispielen wird aufgezeigt, dass es mit sachlich begründeten minimalen Schritten möglich wäre, bei Sportereignissen mehr Freude bei den Sportler*innen zu erzielen, ohne Einbußen an jener Spannung für die Zuseher*innen, die für sie den Wettkampf attraktiv gestalten. Mehr noch: es würden zusätzliche Freiräume geschaffen, die auch anderen Athlet*innen zugute kommen. Alle Toleranz-Vorschläge (zu diesen zählt auch die Einführung von „Bonus“-Hunderstel- Sekunden bei Alpinbewerben) haben zum Ziel, wenigstens ein Minimum an mehr „Fairness“ und „Gerechtigkeit“ im Sport zu verankern, insbesondere dort, wo die vom Autor kritisierte „Einzelsieg-Kompulsion“ (z.B.
