Minutes 79th Meeting Nordic Combined Committee, Costa Navarino (GRE), 16.05.2018 - 4 - 3. Approval of the Agenda The agenda was sent out on 24.04.2018. The Committee approved the agenda. 4. Approval of the Minutes of the last Meeting in Zürich (SUI), 06.10.2017 The minutes were sent out on 19.10.2017. The Committee unanimously approved the minutes. 5. Reports of the Season 2017/18 All reports, statistics and Committee documents are available on the FIS Cloud: https://cloud.fis-ski.com/index.php/s/entIYheqljyJLv2 5.1. Sub-Committee for Officials, Rules and Control The Chairman, Günter Csar, gave a short summary of the last meeting held in Zürich on the 13.04.2018. Proposals were received from Finland, Norway, Italy and FIS and discussed. The next TD Seminar will take place in June 2019 in Wisla (POL). Günter Csar thanked Committee Member Jakub Michalczuk and Poland for their support. Important key aspects touched upon in the Chairman’s report were: TD/TDA performances Personal responsibility of TD/TDA in terms of accidents when ICR are not followed E-learning program for TDs, now available in Ski Jumping, will also become available for Nordic Combined Presentation Swiss Timing – Motion Sensor System Swiss Timing’s Lucien Leonhardt gave a short presentation on the newly de- veloped Motion Sensor System that provides real-time flight data during the ski jumping part, for example about the flight curve, landing speed and more. The system will provide additional information to the spectators on the TV screen and even more data can be provided to the teams for analysis (flight trajectory, speed at inrun/landing, angle of attack, opening angle, roll angel, at all times combinable with the current wind situation). The data can also be used for jumping hill construction as it gives important insights about flight trajectory, landing points and more. The devices weigh 14 grams on each ski and a mounting device has been developed with together with Slatnar but will also be available for other binding manufacturers. Swiss Timing will assist with the mounting of the device before an event day and take it off after the competition to recharge the batteries. All nations will have access to all information in a global database or obtain the information in a pdf printout or excel file. Leonhardt stressed that the FIS rules would need to be adapted that wearing of the sensors is mandatory if provided, so that this system is actually used by the teams. It was commented that the universal sharing of the information should also be fixed in the rules to specify this point. Minutes 79th Meeting Nordic Combined Committee, Costa Navarino (GRE), 16.05.2018 - 5 - Another question that arose was that of the cost of the system. For the World Cup, it will have to be agreed on between FIS and Swiss Timing, for training purposes, the negotiations have to take place between the respective ski federations and Swiss Timing. → The Committee agreed to use the Summer Grand Prix as a test phase and FIS/Swiss Timing will report back at the meeting in Zürich in fall. 5.2. Sub-Committee for NC/SJ Youth & Children’s questions Lasse Ottesen started off the report with the remark that this committee is important for Nordic Combined and offers great expertise to draw on to develop the ladies in the right way. Sepp Buchner is the Nordic Combined representative within the Youth & Children’s questions Committee. Ottesen reported that the discipline of Nordic Combined was praised for its Youth Cup with motivated organisers and a good system in summer and winter time. He explicitly thanked the national ski federations for the support and reminded everyone that the FIS Youth Cup has been and remains the main tool to develop the ladies. Committee Chairman Harald Haim agreed with the remark that a matching system in ski jumping remains very hard to organise. He continued with the topic of the hill size for the Ladies’ Nordic Combined premiere at the Junior World Ski Championships. The Committee had a vote on this but decided to let the ladies start from the normal hill as all other disciplines/competition at the event. He continued that there was a small concern over the very tight program at the Junior World Ski Championships being filled up with another event. Haim continued with an evaluation of the JWSC test event in Kandersteg (SUI) in the past winter. It was a good competition and showcased the future possibilities of the ladies’ development. He underlined the importance to have the right speed of development and appropriate hill sizes as they are still quite young at the moment. He finished his report with congratulations for development of ladies and youth in Nordic Combined, which is going in the right direction. 5.3. FIS Nordic Combined World Cup presented by Viessmann Ottesen started his World Cup report by highlighting how important it is to take care of Swiss Timing in the appropriate way. The technical problem in Lahti showed the importance of a working data service and the organisers and FIS need to make sure they are well taken care of so that they ensure everything works in the best possible way in turn.
