8. Financial Matters

8.1 Report of the Finance Commission

The Vice-Chairman of the FIS Finance Commission Carl-Eric Stålberg reported on the financial matters of the International Ski Federation in relation to the period 1st January 2008 – 31 st December 2009. He had kindly agreed to take over this task following the death of Chairman of the Finance Commission Fritz Wagnerberger on 23 rd March 2010, shortly after the meeting of the Finance Commission on 11 th March 2010.

The accounts of the International Ski Federation for the period 2008 – 2009 were audited by the external auditors, PriceWaterhouseCoopers from 23 rd to 26 th February and by the internal auditors Peter Mennel and Dario Bazzoni (ITA) on 9th April 2010.

On proposal of the Finance Commission, the Council approved the FIS-IKS, Internal Controlling System that has been worked out between FIS and WR Wirtschafts Revision AG, which is a mandatory legal requirement in Switzerland as part of the audit from the 2008 accounts.

Short Summary FIS Council Meetings, Antalya (TUR), May/June 2010 22

Furthermore, the Council approved the accounts and decided to submit the proposal of the Finance Commission to the Congress in regard to support to the FIS member National Ski Associations. The purpose of the proposal to the FIS Congress 2010 is to make an exceptional contribution to the FIS member National Ski Associations that have been badly hit by the financial crisis of the past eighteen months, by adding funds from the FIS reserves. The proposal comprises the surplus from the operating result from the 2008 - 2009 financial period of CHF 12,3 million, with CHF 9,2 million from the FIS reserves and CHF 1,5 million from FIS Solidarity. Together with the budgeted financial support for 2010 - 2011 of CHF 10 million this amounts to CHF 33 million total financial support that will be paid out to the National Ski Associations in the 2010 - 2011 period:

8.2 Financial Support for Seminars

The Council approved a number of seminars and training courses for the Technical Committees’ various TD, judges, homologation, trainer seminars and courses.

8.3 FIS Solidarity

On proposal of the FIS Finance Commission, the Council decided to assist projects and requests for assistance from the National Ski Associations of Australia and Chile. Additionally, the Council approved the application for support of the FIS Junior World Ski Championships 2011, Nordic Events in Otepää to assist the upgrade of the level of the Championships with television coverage, as has been previously provided to the Organisers of the Championships in 2010.

The Council decided to table the proposal from the Slovenian Ski Association for support of the establishment of an international post- rehabilitation training centre at the Sprims Sports Institute in Kranjska Gora and Planica. In principle the Council agreed it would be ready to contribute to the start-up costs only.

8.4 Aid and Promotion Programme for Developing Ski Nations

At its Meeting in Antalya, the Council approved the written report on the programme “Aid and Promotion for developing ski nations” for 2009/2010 and the budget for the period 1 st May 2010 – 30 th April 2011.

The Council acknowledged the extensive opportunities provided to and used by the developing ski nations through the programme and the emergence of many new nations competing successfully in FIS events and achieving qualification for the Olympic Winter Games. Furthermore, the Council agreed that the activities should continue to be targeted at similar performance levels to present, which are designed to encourage activity and not to support competition participation for elite level athletes.

Since the programme is financed by the income generated from the registration fees of candidates for the FIS World Championships it is important to recognise that the amount of funding available for the programme can fluctuate from period to period.

8.5 The Marc Hodler Foundation

The Council as the Patronage Committee of the Marc Hodler Foundation acknowledged the report of Vice-President Carl Eric Stålberg on the

Short Summary FIS Council Meetings, Antalya (TUR), May/June 2010 25

accounts per 31 st December 2009 and the budget for 2010 and agreed to submit the accounts to the Congress for information.

8.6 Invalidity Insurance for athletes

At its Meeting in Zurich in November 2009, on proposal of the FIS Athletes Commission, the Council decided to look into various insurance products caused by accidents in competition in the event of injuries suffered by athletes resulting in invalidity or death that may be available to supplement a national policy.

Following requests and/or negotiations with four different insurance companies, the best proposal was submitted by Allianz.

General An international insurance solution for FIS registered athletes occurring during ski/snowboard official training and competition at FIS Events. Coverage is for death and invalidity (see chart with grade of invalidity).

Insured persons All FIS registered active athletes are covered by this policy. This is necessary in order to obtain the low cost of the premium.

Insured risk Accidents during official training and competition at FIS Events are covered.

Level of Insurance payment Payment in case of death CHF 20’000 Invalidity based on scale maximum for 100% scale CHF 300’000 The insurance payment will be made in addition, even if the athlete has another policy.

Premiums Premium CHF 6 per person (based on all registered athletes 35'000 in all FIS disciplines 2009/10) Total cost for 35’000 athletes CHF 210’000

The Council proposed to the Congress that the cost of the insurance coverage is shared between FIS and the member National Ski Associations in order that the member Associations assume ownership. FIS would pay half of the total cost amounting to CHF 105'000 and the member National Ski Associations would pay CHF 3 per athlete additional on the FIS registration fee, which will therefore be CHF 33 per athlete registered by a National Ski Association to participate in all international FIS calendar events.

8.7 FIS Travel Service

The Council acknowledged that the financial situation of the company has improved and there is presently sufficient operational capital. In regard to the organisation of the FIS Congress and other FIS Meetings, the Council confirmed that the financial management will be handled by FIS. The mandate for tasks relating to accommodation and travel shall be issued in principle and subject to offer by FIS to FIS Travel .

FIS Alpine World Cup Data and timing service

The FIS Congresses in 2006 and 2008 decided that the organisation of timing and data services for the FIS Alpine World Cup and marketing of all advertising rights shall be carried out by FIS with distribution of the revenues to the Organising Committees and their National Ski Associations after deduction of the service costs, on proposal of the Norwegian and German Ski Associations in 2006 and the Croatian Ski Association in 2008.

Consequently following the Congress in Cape Town decision, negotiations with a number of different service providers took place. Finally, an agreement with Swiss Timing to carry out the service to include all the FIS disciplines on the programme of the Olympic Winter Games from 2010 to 2014 has been concluded. In the agreement, as far as the FIS Alpine World Cup is concerned, the Organising Committees will receive the timing and data services free of charge and additionally FIS may market a proportion of the data insert package to either one sponsor for the whole FIS World Cup or separately for the men's and ladies' circuits in accordance with the 2008 FIS Congress decision.

As a result of concluding the agreement in autumn 2009, Swiss Timing agreed to postpone the obligation to include all FIS Alpine World Cup races in the global timing and data service contract from 2009 to 2010 and permitted , Canada and Croatia to continue their existing arrangement with another service provider in the 2009/10 season only.

At its Meeting in Antalya, the Council discussed the proposal to the FIS Congress 2010 from the Austrian Ski Association in regard to the timing and data services for the FIS Alpine World Cup.

The President pointed out that if the Congress decided to support the Austrian proposal for each National Ski Association to manage the data and timing service and its marketing for the FIS Alpine World Cup competitions in their own nation, then the principle of this decision would have to automatically apply to all FIS disciplines. Each National Ski Association

Short Summary FIS Council Meetings, Antalya (TUR), May/June 2010 29

would then have to organise the data and timing services and of course finance these.

9.2 Special Project “Bring Children to the ”

The Council approved the latest update report in regard to the activities and campaign. Additionally, the Council selected the top three winners of the FIS SnowKidz Award that were presented during the Congress in Antalya and confirmed the results of the jury that evaluated all applications:

1st - Barnas Skiklubb 2nd USA - MWSC Healthy Hometows Programme 3rd GER - Snow Child’s Play (Schnee kinderleicht - Bewegtes Land) Special prize - PAK Naltar Ski School

Activating Snow Desire: International Communication Campaign

• The campaign website www.fis-snowkidz.com has been developed further and the toolkit for the National Ski Association is continuously growing. Since the launch of the website on 5 th May 2009 the website has had more than 10’000 individual visitors. • The campaign promotion video spot was distributed to the National Ski Associations for use during the 2009/2010 season. The campaign spot was shown at several World Cup events and at the FIS Ski Flying World Championships Planica 2010. • Promotional materials such as a SnowKidz tent, banners, roll-ups and beach flags have been produced and are available for use on request. • FIS SnowKidz Newsletter was launched in November 2009. • A campaign informational flyer was prepared and distributed. • 22 applications from 18 National Ski Associations were received for the first FIS SnowKidz Award; 9 applications are from Aid & Promotion developing ski nations. The first awards will be presented at the 2010 Congress. • The SnowKidz Awards jury has been defined and is tasked with selecting the Top 8 projects out of the 22 applications, for the FIS Council to then select the Top 3. The jury includes three members: - Satu Kalajainen (FIN), representing the FIS Youth & Children’s’ Coordination Group - Essar Gabriel (LEB), head of IOC Youth Olympic Games - Riet R Campell (SUI), President of International Ski Instructors’ Association • Initial discussions on how to cooperate with the first edition of the Winter Youth Olympic Games Innsbruck 2012 have taken place. • The 10 FIS Rules for Conduct are in the process of being integrated in the Bring Children to the Snow campaign. • Estimated 20 inquiries have been received about becoming a campaign partner.

Short Summary FIS Council Meetings, Antalya (TUR), May/June 2010 30

Enabling Snow Experience: National Activity Campaign

• Ten National Ski Associations took advantage of the toolkit made available through the campaign website at www.fis-snowkidz.com which provides examples, templates, design files and an image gallery for local production and execution. An example of excellent national implementation is the programme by the Norwegian Ski Association which combined the FIS SnowKidz brand and ideology in the local children’s ski school programme with a campaign focused on the environment. • FIS SnowKidz meeting points were staged at a total of 25 FIS World Cup venues across all the six Olympic disciplines as well as the FIS Ski Flying World Championships, Planica 2010 during the 2009/2010 season. The meeting points involved estimated 6’000 children who were provided with enhanced one-on-one experiences with their stars, memories to take home and a closer connection with ski sport. • Because a common event platform not could be found, the planned promotional event in cooperation with Europa Park in Rust, could not be realised (i.e. problems with timing, ensured media coverage). • Only four out of 22 major Ski Resorts and Associations responded to the FIS SnowKidz Partner Resort survey. As a result the criteria for participation in the label program will be reviewed.

Upcoming Activities Season 2010/2011

• First FIS SnowKidz Award to be awarded at the 2010 Congress; all eight projects selected by the Awards Jury for the final round will be displayed at the Congress Exhibition in Antalya. • Further campaign toolkit and Wiki site (www.bringchildrentothesnow.com) development. • Planned launch of the World Snow Day in January 2011 in cooperation with the National Ski Associations, an annual family fun event which aims to bring more children and their families on the snow during a defined period in time. • Youth and Children Seminar 2010 in Autumn 2010 to be focused on ski sport in schools. • Continuation of FIS SnowKidz Meeting Points during the season 2010/2011. • Further definition of FIS SnowKidz Partner Resort criteria. • Cooperation with first Winter Youth Olympic Games Innsbruck 2012. • Integration of ‘FIS Rules for Conduct’ in the Bring Children to the Snow campaign. The rules will be provided in FIS SnowKidz non-textual design for global use.

9.3 FIS Marketing AG

The Council acknowledged the report of Vice-President Carl Eric Stålberg in his capacity as Chairman of the Board of FIS Marketing AG. The second meeting of the board of FIS Marketing AG took place on 10 th March 2010 in Garmisch-Partenkirchen with the third taking place on 2 nd June in Antalya.

Short Summary FIS Council Meetings, Antalya (TUR), May/June 2010 31

The main activity at present is the marketing of the FIS Cross-Country World Cup in agreement with all nations on the calendar.

The presenting sponsor Viessman and other packages have already been signed up totalling 50% of the inventory. Other projects of the company include the marketing rights for the FIS Ski Flying World Championships 2012 in Vikersund (NOR) and the data and timing for the FIS Alpine World Cup.

The initial objective of the company is to focus on projects that can be successful in the immediate short-term to generate activity and capital. Thereafter further efforts will be made to secure sponsors for the disciplines that have proven difficult to do so, such as the Freestyle World Cup.

Due to the agreements already established with the marketing of the FIS Cross-Country World Cup, it will not be necessary for FIS Marketing AG to call on the shareholders loan of up to € 150’000 from FIS that was agreed by the Council in November 2009 for the time being, since there will no longer be a negative cash flow.

10. Anti-Doping

10.1 International Doping Cases

The Council acknowledged the report of the Chairman of the FIS Doping Panel, Patrick Smith.

Since the previous Meeting of the FIS Council, the FIS Doping Panel has rendered decision on four cases. The Panel found that Russian Cross- Country skiers Nina Rysina (RUS), Evgeni Dementiev (RUS), Natalia Matveeva and Yuliya Tchepalova have committed an anti-doping rule violation contrary to article 2.1 of the FIS Anti-Doping Rules. All four athletes tested positive for the use of the prohibited substance recombinant EPO, identified on the WADA Prohibited List 2009 in Class S2 Hormone and Related Substances and were sanctioned to two years ineligibility.

Additionally, the FIS Doping Panel found that the Russian cross-country skier Elena Vedeneeva committed an anti-doping rule violation contrary to article 2.3 of the FIS Anti-Doping Rules, refusal to undergo a WADA out-of- competition doping control on 28 th November 2009 after notification, and sanctioned the athlete to two year’s ineligibility.

Ineligibility, defined in article 10.10 of the FIS Anti-Doping Rules, means that in addition to ineligibility from competitions, an athlete cannot participate in a training camp, exhibition or practice organised by his or her

Short Summary FIS Council Meetings, Antalya (TUR), May/June 2010 32

National Ski Association or a club which is a member of that National Ski Association. If an athlete violates this ineligibility status, the period of ineligibility which was originally imposed shall start over again as of the date of the violation. In this respect, in November 2009 the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS), based on an appeal of the athlete and the Czech Ski Association, confirmed a decision rendered by the FIS Doping Panel in the Case Ondrej Horyna (CZE), prolonging the period of ineligibility from 1 st April 2009 to 1 st April 2010 because of taking part in a team training, as well as sanctioning the National Ski Association of the Czech Republic for not taking effective measures.

Furthermore, on 1 st June 2010 the FIS Doping Panel adjudicated the case of Cross-Country athlete Kornelia Marek (POL) for the use of prohibited substance EPO, after the IOC delegated the case to FIS following a violation of the anti-doping rules during the Olympic Winter Games 2010 in Vancouver. The IOC decided that the athlete infringed the rules and disqualified all her results from the Olympic Winter Games and delegated the case to FIS for action within its competence. Thereafter the FIS Doping Panel adjudicated the case on 1 st June 2010 and decided that she had committed an anti-doping rule violation contrary to article 2.1 of the FIS Anti-Doping Rules and sanctioned her to two years ineligibility commencing from the date of the start of the provisional suspension by FIS on 16 th March 2010 until 16 th March 2012.

12.2 The Case of the Russian Ski Association

The Chairman of the FIS Doping Panel, Council Member Patrick Smith reported to the FIS Council about the serious concern of the FIS regarding the situation of the Russian Ski Association with the high number of doping cases and lack of adherence the FIS Anti-Doping Rules. These cases are summarised below:

Vice-President Leonid Tyagachev spoke of the sincere remorse of the Russian leadership for the situation that has occurred. He informed the FIS Council about the serious work that has been initiated at the very highest level in Russia.

The Council welcomed this important step that is underway in Russia, which it recognised in issuing sanctions. The objectives are as follows:

1. Firstly, as a retrospective measure to reflect Council’s strong disapproval to date;

Short Summary FIS Council Meetings, Antalya (TUR), May/June 2010 33

2. Secondly, to prospectively encourage the Russian Ski Association to bring about the necessary, immediate and effective change within its organisation to enable it carry out its obligations a FIS partner in the important area of doping prevention and control;

3. To send a message to the Russian Ski Association, in particular, and to the world at large, that Council views anti-doping compliance seriously and will not hesitate to act appropriately where it is necessary to do so.

In order to accomplish the above objectives the Council decided:

• That the Russian Ski Association receives an immediate monetary sanction of half of the FIS financial support due to the Russian Ski Association in 2009 amounting to CHF 177’989. The same amount is suspended subject to the Council’s review of the measures taken by the Russian Ski Association at its next meeting in November 2010. The same amount is suspended subject to the Council’s review of the measures taken by the Russian Ski Association at it’s next meeting in November 2010.

• to strongly recommend the installation of a new group of officials and coaches that have not been associated within the athletes and programmes during the past years during which there have been multiple doping cases, in view of building up a new team for Sochi 2014 that rejects doping.

• to formally request that the following coach, official and trainers be removed indefinitely from their current positions and from any other position within the Association so that they are no longer involved in any position of responsibility and influence: Coach of Sergey Shiryaev and Juliya Tchepalova: Anatoly Tchepalov Coaches and medical personnel of the athletes Dementiev, Matveeva and Rysina.

The Council decided to suspend the passing of further sanctions subject to the Association providing to FIS, no later than November 1, 2010, a report on its anti-doping work programme including details on the professional management of the anti-doping programme, a comprehensive financial budget and timetable for the training and education of all officials and athletes within the Russian Ski Association. Such sanctions may include:

• a further monetary fine of the remaining 50% of the FIS financial support due to the Russian Ski Association in 2009 amounting to CHF 177’989

Short Summary FIS Council Meetings, Antalya (TUR), May/June 2010 34

• and/or other measures described in article 12.3.1 of the FIS Anti-Doping Rules: (a) withdraw some or all FIS membership rights, including participation in all FIS calendar competitions, voting rights at the FIS Congress, ban all officials from that National Ski Association for participation in any FIS activities for a period of up to two years and/or (b) cancellation of the organisation of future FIS events in the disciplines concerned

• and/or 12.3.1.1 the FIS may suspend that National Ski Association’s membership for a period of up to 4 years

Gate Panels

The Gate Panels to be used in the World Cup, as from the season 2010/11 must fulfil the following requirements:

Requirements and Tests:

1. Normal approach The panel must not release from the poles during normal gate approach. Test: A drop pendulum contacts the inside pole at a height of 70 cm above ground with a momentum of 110 Ns. This corresponds e.g. to the contact of the mass of 10 kg with a velocity of 40 km/h. The panel must not remove release from the poles during 30 repetitions. The test is conducted for poles of type A (29-32 mm) und B (25-28.9 mm) with a flex pole as the inside pole and a fix pole as the outside pole.

2. Release in case of collision The panel must release from the pole when athletes collide with the gate. Quasi-static test: The maximal pull force to release the panel along the poles upwards is determined. The maximal force must not exceed 50 N neither at room temperature nor -20° C. Dynamic test: The pendulum rod of a drop pendulum contacts the panel in the middle between the poles with a momentum of 70 Ns. This corresponds e.g. to the contact of the mass of 30 kg with a velocity of 8 km/h. For 5 repetitions the panel has to be released every time. The

Short Summary FIS Council Meetings, Antalya (TUR), May/June 2010 90

test is conducted for poles of type A (29-32 mm) und B (25-28.9 mm) with a flex pole as the inside pole and a fix pole as the outside pole.

3. Geometrical design and colours The panel must have the size of ca. 0.75 m wide x 0.50 m high (GS, SG, and DH). The panel area must be between 0.375 and 0.3 m². Commonly no colours other than red or blue are permitted (Exception see ICR 701.3.2 and 1104.2).

4. Wind permeability The panel must be made of wind-permeable material.

5. Advertising on panels Advertising on the panel must not affect the requirements 1 to 4. 6. Validity The FIS certification of release panels is valid for 2 years. Certified panels must have an imprint or an insert documenting the manufacturer and the year of homologation. ICR Art. 680.2.1.2, 690, 690.1, 690.2, 701.3.2, 901.2.2, 1001.3.2 und 1104.1 must be adapted.

9. Competition Procedures

In all International FIS authorized competitions, in all events, there will generally be:

- A Qualification Run / Time Trail (consisting of all competitors); - A Final Run

In the Finals, the qualifying competitors will start in reverse order, of their placing from the Qualification results. Results from the Qualifications do not carry over into results from the Finals.

- The Jury may alter this format to be only Finals in the following circumstances: - the number of competitors is equal to or less than the size of the normal Finals field for that event. - Inclement weather or snow conditions.

Short Summary FIS Council Meetings, Antalya (TUR), May/June 2010 94

- Any other adverse conditions which may require a shortened program. - In the event of the interruption of a competition, the competition should be resumed when conditions warrant. The results completed before the interruption will remain valid if it is possible to complete the event or phase rounds on the same day. Otherwise, the results prior to the interruption will be cancelled except if the top 30 moguls, aerial and halfpipe competitor and 35 ski cross competitors in the Qualifications have been completed their runs . In that case, only the Finals will be postponed or re-run, but must be completed on the same competition site. If the Finals cannot be completed, the results of the Qualifications run or phase round will be final

11. FIS Freestyle World Cup Point System and World Cup Starting List

11.5 World Cup Starting List (WCSL)

11.5.1 The World Cup Starting List (WCSL) is a ranking list based upon a competitors past season World Cup points, as a Base, with those points being subtracted from the Base and then with the addition of the present seasons World Cup points.

11.5.2 Addition and deletion of points for the World Cup Starting List

Other Matters – Additional information to demonstrate the cost implications of new events

Following the proposals by the Freestyle and Snowboard Committees to review the inclusion of new events that are in line with youth activity on the slopes in November 2009, the Council requested additional information to demonstrate the cost implications for organisers in terms of facilities, as well as for the National Ski Associations in establishing eventual new teams for the new events.

After research it has shown that ski halfpipe is growing. From 2004 until 2009 there is a growth visible in the amount of competitors, 55% in the men’s and 300% in the ladies inside of the FIS structure. There is significant grass root support from resorts, the ski industry, event organizers and some National Associations involved in Freestyle Skiing because of the relatively low infrastructural costs based upon the snowboard courses already being in place for halfpipe and slopestyle.

- Cost Implications for organisers One of the main reasons to include ski slopestyle as an event is that the resorts already have main parts of the infrastructure in place. Many resorts created so called “Terrain Parks” which are in use by recreational snowboarders and skiers. Therefore the costs for creating competition venues are relatively low with only small modifications required in order to create a competition venue appropriate for top-level skiers.

- Cost implications for National Associations

Short Summary FIS Council Meetings, Antalya (TUR), May/June 2010 96

There is significant interest in these ski events at the local, regional and national level. The growth of participating competitor in ski halfpipe and ski slopestyle events is mainly caused by the initiative of the athletes themselves, with the support of the ski industry. In order to have some stable growth and reduce injuries and increase the number of members in clubs, ski associations are taking a greater interest. This has been marketing driven supported by national and international tours, a strong print media interest, a high level social networking, media companies and TV stations support. Since the 2002 various competitions have been organised at FIS, COC and WC level inside of the FIS and it is on the request of the National Associations to include Ski Slopestyle at the FIS Junior Freestyle World Championships.

- Interest of the Ski Industry and Media Driven by relatively high sales numbers in the past 5 years of freeride / freestyle skiing products such as skis and boots (15% to 30% their total products sold in and in ) the ski industry is highly interested in the development of new Freestyle Skiing events. The ski brands need to develop new marketing initiatives which relate to the younger skiing generations in order to continue to be profitable in the market place. There is a strong interest in youth oriented products and services to become associated with these activities, hence there is a media interest in developing these products.

- The Development of Ski Slopestyle The organisers in Wanaka NZE will host ski and snowboard slopestyle on the program of the 2010 FIS Junior Freestyle Skiing and Snowboard World Championships. The Freestyle Skiing and Snowboard disciplines will coordinate the development of these events with the further integration of ski slopestyle into the FIS Freestyle CoC competitions starting in season 2011 - 2012.

- General After research it has shown that Snowboard Slopestyle is growing. From 2006 until 2009 there is a significant growth visible in the amount of organised Snowboard Slopestyle events (+134%) as well as in the amount of participants (+190%) as shown on the earlier document: “Analysis Snowboard Events”. Furthermore there is grass root support from resorts, the snowboard industry and the National Associations involved in Snowboard notably because there are relatively low infrastructural costs to organise Snowboard Slopestyle.

- Cost implications for National Associations The growth of participating athletes in Snowboard Slopestyle events is mainly caused by the initiative of the athletes themselves, the coaches and well supported by the various National Associations. Since the 2005/2006 season various competitions have been organised at FIS, COC and WC level and it is on the request of the National Associations to include Snowboard Slopestyle at the FIS Snowboard World Championships. Of particular relevance is that that many Half Pipe and Big Air athletes also compete in Slopestyle which makes it easier to organise for the respective National Associations since no additional coaches are needed and training for Snowboard Slopestyle can easily be included in the existing national program.

- Interest of the Snowboard industry Driven by relatively high sales numbers of freeride/freestyle Snowboard products such as boards and boots (86% men and 91% women of their total products) the Snowboard industry is interested in the development of new Snowboard Freestyle events in general and Snowboard Slopestyle especially.

The Committee for Speed Skiing

Homologation of proposed

Homologation of future proposed pistes by Speed Skiing Committee senior TD, Luc Cristina was accepted.

International Competition Rules

1232.5.2 Timing zone: red border markings. In addition, the end of the timing zone must be marked across its entire width by a red coloured line on the snow; this should be between 2m and 5m after the timing cells. This line must be at least 30 cm broad, and clearly visible from the competition track.

1233.5 Starting Order

1233.5.1 Competitions will run under FIS Point regulations. The starting order of competitors for their training runs is determined according to their current FIS points, with the best 15 competitors present being drawn.

1233.5.2 Men and women (S1, SDH and SDH(Jun)) will run in different categories, and as separate groups. The Jury will decide the order of departure of each group at the Team Captains’ Meeting according to anticipated conditions. No SDH(Jun) racer

Short Summary FIS Council Meetings, Antalya (TUR), May/June 2010 105

may start from a higher position than the equivalent SDH racer, and no SDH racer may start at a higher point than that used for the equivalent S1 racer. 1233.5.3 Race numbers will be allocated to each competitor at the start of the competition, and these numbers will be retained for the duration of the competition. All training runs will be run in race number order, as will the first race run. Thereafter, the starting order for each group (by style and gender) will be determined by the best speed reached by each competitor in that group during all the previous runs of the race (i.e. excluding training runs), with competitors starting in increasing order of speed. decreasing order of speed apart from the 10 fastest racers where the order is inverted (i.e. the order is: 10 th fastest, 9 th , 8 th , 7 th …2 nd , 1 st then 11 th , 12 th , 13 th , 14 th etc ..).

1233.6.2 If there are no appointed forerunners, and onc e cuts start being made, the three best men and the best woman who did not qualify during the previous run are appointed as the forerunners, and go down in decreasing order of achieved speed. In the event that they refuse, or are unable to meet the requirement, the free places are taken by the following nonqualified racers. At this stage the speeds of the best forerunner in each category is taken into account for the results. The speeds of the following forerunners are not taken into account for the officia l results, but they are published as information with the results. For the second and subsequent runs, all racers will run in their categories (S1, SDH etc) in full bibo order of their last times (ie the slowest first, followed by the 2 nd slowest, with the fastest racer last). The first two male racers, and the first female racer to start in each run will also undertake forerunner duties, and are required to report to the Jury on the completion of their run; as competitors, their times will be recorded in the results. The possibility should exist for the organisers to invite fore-runners who are not competitors and who have in the past demonstrated the ability to perform with safety.

1234.1 Skis S1 class skis must be between 2.20 and 2.40 m in length. They must not weigh more than 15.0 kg for a pair, including all bindings and attachments, must be constructed for high speed running, and must not have any added aerodynamic appendages. SDH and SDH(Jun) class skis must be standard production downhill skis, as defined in the FIS Equipment Specifications, and no longer than 2.25 m. DH skis conforming to previous Specifications, between 2.15 and 2.25 m in length may also be used.

Short Summary FIS Council Meetings, Antalya (TUR), May/June 2010 106

1234.4 Ski suit For the S1 category, clothing should be a plastified ski suit suitable for Speed Skiing (the plastified suit must be covered by effective slip-resistant clothing until the athlete has reached the waiting area). For the SDH and SDH(Jun) categories, clothing as well as all elements of the equipment must fulfill FIS rules for Alpine Downhill as defined in FIS Equipment Specifications, especially as regards air permeability (‘Plombing’). For all categories, it is compulsory to wear underclothing covering the body and at least ¾ of the arms and legs under the suit. In order to avoid severe burning, dorsal protection worn under the suit is mandatory (see Art 1234.9). No protective elements can be more than 4.5 cm thick. Athletes must wear gloves to protect their hands.

1236.2.1 For World Cup and World Championship races, based on winning S1 racers, there will be no Race Penalty to add. Where SDH skiers do not have any S1 skiers as a basis for race points, FIS will publish an appropriate Race Penalty; where SDH(Jun) skiers have neither S1 nor SDH competition, FIS will advise the SDH(Jun) specific penalty. Validity of points on any listing is in accordance with FIS practice as defined in the points listing of the FIS Classification Committee.

(For 2010/11 season, the WC race penalties are: S1 0 (zero) pts, SDH 100 pts, and SDH (Jun) 160 points).

Furthermore, the Council approved the installation of a group of experts within the Alpine Committee as a Working Group for Alpine Equipment (please see Item 13.2 on pages 91 – 92).

The Committee for Public Relations and Mass Media – Expert Group New Media Rights

The Expert Group appointed at the last FIS Congress to monitor ICR 208, Exploitation of Electronic Media Rights, during its initial trial period of two years has proposed a number of changes in the text to take account of developments in technology and their impact on distributing audiovisual material. The Council acknowledged the work to date of the Expert Group and decided to request the Congress to delegate it to go into the detail of the revised text, in consultation with the National Ski Associations, and decide about any eventual revisions to the ICR 208 articles:

The Committee for Advertising Matters

The following new regulations are valid from the season 2011/2012:

Regulations for Commercial Markings

2.4 Clothing 2.4.1 Articles of clothing may carry commercial markings belonging to the manufacturer and/or to other sponsors (as defined in art. 2.6) 2.4.2 The total surface area of all commercial markings on the clothing of one person shall not exceed 350 cm2 400 cm2 The maximum surface area for a single marking is 100 cm2. Commercial markings of the same sponsor may not appear one above the other or one beside the other. The National Association may decide on the placing of commercial markings.

13.3 FIS Athletes Commission

At the Council Meeting in November 2009, the Council addressed three requests that were submitted by the Athletes Commission and followed up on these in Antalya:

- Installation of an independent arbitration board to protect the Athletes’ Rights - Athlete Representation in FIS Technical Committees - Support for Severely Injured Athletes

Short Summary FIS Council Meetings, Antalya (TUR), May/June 2010 108

The Council appointed Council Member Patrick Smith to meet the Athletes Commission and discuss their proposals, notably an arbitration procedure for protecting athlete’s rights. Since the issues of concern for the athletes relate to national problems, such as team selection, coaches, support for programmes, etc. a national system involving an ombudsman to act as mediator that is already used by some National Olympic Committees appears to be the most suitable option.

Concerning the Athletes Commission request for support for severely injured athletes, the members welcomed the Council’s proposal to the Congress to take out a specific insurance to cover invalidity or death which would provide for such assistance (please see Item 8.6 on page 26 – which was subsequently unanimously approved).

14. Membership of FIS

The Council decided to propose to the FIS Congress 2010 to affiliate the Nepal Ski Association (associated member since 1998) and the Albania Ski Association (associated member since 2000) as full members, since they now fulfill all requirements to be full members with one vote. In the event of their election by the Congress as full members, they will be eligible to vote as from the International Ski Congress in 2012.

The Council acknowledged the situation with the Peruvian Winter Sports Federation and their relations with the authorities in Peru, including the National Olympic Committee which has lead to its suspension as the governing body for skiing. For the time being the NOC has taken over responsibility for the organisation of activities.

In January 2010, Snowsports GB (the National Ski Association for Great Britain) went into liquidation. The National Olympic Committee of Great Britain has taken over the running of the sport and set up an own entity for this purpose, British Skiing and Snowboarding. The President of the NOC, Lord Colin Moynihan has taken on this role for the time being and the organisation is undertaking a thorough consultation process before the election of a new board takes place in 12 months.

15. Future FIS Congress

15.1 FIS Congress 2012

The Council appointed Highone Resort, Kangwonland (KOR) with the organisation of the 48 th International Ski Congress in 2012 which will be held 20 th to 26 th May. Council Member Sung-Won Lee reported about the progress of the construction of the Highone Resort which is on schedule and will cater for all requirements of the FIS Congress.

15.2 FIS Congress 2014

The Council decided to invite all National Ski Associations to submit their candidacies according to the criteria for hosting a FIS Congress (please see details on the FIS Website) by 1 st September 2010. The Council will evaluate these at its Meeting in autumn 2010 and depending on the number of candidacies, it will either appoint the site or create a short list.

15.3 Organisation FIS Congress, Calendar Conference, FIS Autumn Meetings

The FIS Congress is the most important off-snow gathering of the FIS Family. The participants representing National Ski Associations as members of FIS Committees, as well as Organising Committee representatives are contributing to the organisation and development of the sport. Similarly FIS sponsors and partners play an active role in the promotion of the sport and the FIS Congress serves as opportunity to recognise their role. Other participants include marketing and television agencies that are interested in their own business activities. The social aspects of the FIS Congress are important for developing collaboration between Member Associations in the interest of the global organisation and development of the sport.

In November 2009, the Council requested a review of the organisation of the FIS Congress in order that the cost structure of the FIS Congress is transparent and recognises that the participants from the National Ski Associations are contributing to the development of the sport. The FIS Congress is not a commercial symposium where participants attend lectures from renowned experts who have to be paid for their services. It should be organised on a cost-recovery service where participants are paying for their own costs only.

Therefore, in regard to the organisation of the FIS Congress and other FIS Meetings, the Council confirmed that the organisation and financial management will be handled by FIS. The mandate for tasks relating to accommodation and travel shall be issued in principle and subject to offer by FIS to FIS Travel .

Short Summary FIS Council Meetings, Antalya (TUR), May/June 2010 110

Where possible, a Congress registration fee that covers the coffee breaks, excursion and gala dinner should be eliminated at least for official delegates of National Ski Associations, Council and Committee Members, Organising Committee representatives, media representatives, invited guests, FIS staff and FIS Travel staff. All others (guests, accompanying persons and observers) have to pay a Congress Fee for the cost items (e.g. coffee breaks, excursion, gala dinner).

16. Ski Industry SRS

During the FIS Alpine World Cup Finals in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, a Working Group appointed by the FIS Council at its Meeting in Zurich, November 2009, chaired by Sverre Seeberg, with members Bill Marolt, and Eduardo Roldan, and National Ski Association representatives Stefan Krauss (GER), Urs Lehmann (SUI), Vedran Pavlek (CRO) and Yves Dimier (FRA) met with SRS’s members. The key objective is to address various issues of concern and try to find some measures that can help reduce the overall costs of organising the sport, as well as ways to develop and promote alpine ski racing.

Proposals and ideas of the group were discussed during the preparatory meeting for the FIS World Cup Sub-Committee in April 2010. Thereafter during the meetings in Antalya they have been integrated into the discussions and proposals of the Alpine Executive Board and several Sub- Committees.

17. Environmental activities

At the FIS Council Meeting in Vancouver in June 2008, the Council decided to review the FIS environmental policies together with Erwin Lauterwasser, . In Antalya, the Council acknowledged the report submitted and decided to request Erwin Lauterwasser to continue to lead the environmental activities on behalf of FIS and not to appoint an external consultant to deal with this subject. Furthermore, the Council approved the budget to support the development of a FIS best practice database for all matters related to Sustainability: FIS and sustainability of ski sports: Strategy

FIS represents the interest of ski sports on behalf of its 110 Member National Ski Associations. The organisation of ski and snowboard competitions according to the International Competition Rules under fair conditions for all athletes is one of their main tasks. Moreover, these events are staged according to the cultural and social values of the respective organising countries and with great care for use of resources and the environment, thereby contributing to the sustainability of snow sports. This provides the basis for the following strategic goals and tasks of FIS.

Short Summary FIS Council Meetings, Antalya (TUR), May/June 2010 111

The following corresponds to the current development of the sport and its external conditions and presents a strategic direction to be followed:

FIS Goals for Sustainability

1. Adjusting to the impact of climatic changes FIS develops long-term strategies to counter the phenomenon of global warming. 2. Care for renewable resources Economic development has an impact on the environment yet protection of the environment carries a cost. A modest use of energy and other goods is thus imperative. FIS appreciates and seeks to apply this trade-off in its actions.

3. Proactive communication of sustainability FIS acts as a proactive promoter of sustainability for snow sports in all its activities, especially in the organisation of its competitions.

Strategic activities related to competition venues

1. Competition venues in conformity with the law Competition venues that are used for FIS international ski and snowboard competitions are built in a sustainable manner and the developers and managers of these competition venues make sure that the latest sporting rules and national legal regulations are applied.

2. Holistic homologation Planning of new and renovation of old competition venues is based not only on sports and economic factors but also considering ecological, economical and media-related aspects. This holistic approach is implemented early on in the homologation process. The onus for proving compliance with the homologation criteria is on the party requesting homologation.

3. Construction according to ecological best practice Each competition venue is built to blend into the surrounding nature and landscape in a manner that it meets the sustainability requirements of FIS and promotes general public acceptance. Ecological experts and international knowledge transfer are used to optimize planning of such projects, supported by a FIS internal database of information and case studies.

Strategic activities related to sustainable competition organisation

1. Competitions are organised with the greatest possible conformity with the FIS sustainability guidelines and related documentation. 2. Additional FIS sustainability documentation for event organisation provides clear direction for planning and execution of competitions. 3. Best Practice examples provide further options and promote creative solutions and FIS collects them in a FIS database. 4. Major event planning and preparations are monitored and proactively guided. Great attention is paid to carrying out the events in a sustainable manner.

Short Summary FIS Council Meetings, Antalya (TUR), May/June 2010 112

Strategic activities related to sustainability in marketing and communications

The main pillars for promoting sustainability within FIS marketing and communications are

1. Communication of FIS engagement for sustainability 2. Management and further development of sponsor relationships promoting sustainability 3. Development and active maintenance of content on promotion of sustainability on the FIS website(s) 4. Development of a `Sustainability in Snow Sports Information System´ (SSSIS) focused on: Climate change, technical and ecological knowledge, surveys and scientific studies, practical examples, talking points etc. 5. Maintenance of regular relations with non-governmental organisations (e.g. UNEP) and leading International Federations in matters related to sustainability and the environment 6. Evaluation and realization of partnership(s) with organisation(s) or development of a specific FIS-led project focused on sustainability 7. Evaluation of cooperation with Green Ski 8. Representation of FIS at international events, forums, symposia etc. related to the environment and sustainability

18. Any other Business

On proposal of the Nepal Ski Association, the Council agreed to support an expedition to plant the FIS flag on the top of Mount Everest during the centenary year of the International Ski Federation. Furthermore the Council proposed to the Congress to elect Milan Jirasek and Carl Eric Stålberg as Honorary Members of FIS.
