5. The International Olympic Committee
The main activities of the IOC since the FIS Congress in Antalya included the organisation of the first Youth Olympic Games which took place in Singapore from 14 th to 26 th August.
In June, the IOC organised a seminar about gambling and the potential dangers for sport. During both the Olympic Games in Beijing 2008 and the Winter Games in Vancouver 2010, the IOC monitored betting patterns.
The IOC Executive Board (EB) met recently in Acapulco (MEX) and decided that it is looking favorably at the inclusion of ladies’ Ski Jumping, Freestyle ski half-pipe, Freestyle ski slopestyle, Snowboard slopestyle, along with events from other Sports namely the Biathlon mixed team relay, Figure Skating team event and Luge team relay in the programme of the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games.
However, before taking a final decision, the IOC EB said it would like to consider the outcome of the respective World Championships during the winter season in 2011.
FIS President Gian Franco Kasper stated that FIS is pleased to know that four of our event requests are seen favorably by the IOC Executive Board. At the same time, FIS is very disappointed that out of all proposed new events on the Olympic Winter Games program across all sports, the only one excluded from the positive list is the Alpine Team Event. It is difficult explain why the most established discipline that is best liked in terms of global TV audiences would not be considered further. This has already been expressed officially to the IOC with a request to study also the Alpine Team Event at the upcoming FIS Alpine World Ski Championships.
The IOC Olympic Programme Commission analysed all the requests put forward by the International Federations based and submitted its findings to the EB. The key positive factors included whether the changes would increase universality, gender equity and youth appeal, and in general add value to the Games. Other considerations included the cost of infrastructure, and the impact on the overall quota

and the number of events. Final decisions on the events to be included on the Sochi 2014 programme rest with IOC President Jacques Rogge and are planned to be taken in early spring 2011.

After extensive discussions the Organising Committee has now confirmed that they are able to prepare a 2.5km cross-country course in the vicinity of the ski jumping hill to use for the Nordic Combined competitions.

The major expenditure has been the National Ski Association financial support and special distribution which were credited in September. FIS operating expenditure is in line with the budget, however, there is presently a significant loss on the valuation of the financial investments due to the currency situation with the Euro and US dollar but it is hoped that this valuation loss can be clawed back during the remainder of the financial period until the end of 2011.

As a further exception for 2010/11, the Council acknowledged that Kitzbühel would arrange its own services.
The Austrian Ski Association insists that in the event that no data sponsor can be secured by its’ Meeting in June 2011, each National Ski Association would have to be freed to negotiate its own data services and the marketing of these rights.
The Council underlined that securing a data sponsor for the FIS Alpine World Cup needs to be addressed by FIS and FIS Marketing AG as a matter of the highest priority in order that a high quality global system can be provided for all FIS Alpine World Cup Organisers without charge and indeed with financial benefits for the Organising Committees.

Short Summary FIS Council Meeting, Oberhofen (SUI), November 2010 8
Activating Snow Desire: International Communication Campaign
- Based on feedback on the first FIS SnowKidz Award presented in Antalya, refinement of the rules and criteria is underway. The award competition received much positive feedback and is serving as an effective catalyst for new activities by the NSAs for children and the youth.
- “Ski Sports in Schools” is the topic of the 8 th FIS Youth & Children’s Seminar at the Autumn Meetings in Zurich this year. Campaign updates will be provided to various Committees during the week of meetings.
- The FIS SnowKidz Meeting Points, or “SnowKidz on Tour”, will be integrated to the extent possible in the FIS World Championships 2011. Several Meeting Points will also be staged at FIS World Cup events during the season to enable children to have a unique opportunity to meet the ski stars.
- The use of the SnowKidz promotional video was extended for another season. NSAs and World Cup organisers can request campaign give-aways and borrow other promotional materials for use during their events. The campaign flyer will be updated and printed during the autumn.
- A further idea for encouraging SnowKidz participation by the World Cup LOCs is to organise a video contest for children, the best of which can be shown on the video wall at the events. A season-long video contest platform will be provided for the FIS Cross-Country World Cup organisers through www.fiscrosscountry.com .
- The SnowKidz version of the ‘Ten FIS Rules for Conduct’ has been integrated in the Bring Children to the Snow campaign. A survey among children provided very positive feedback on the draft of the illustrated rules. The main idea was to illustrate the rules without text, but the survey showed that some guiding text is needed to ensure the correct message is conveyed. The final draft will be presented for review in Zurich during the Autumn Meetings. Distribution is planned as a poster format.
Enabling Snow Experience: National Activity Campaign
- Animation programmes for children at selected FIS World Cup and the World Championships 2011 are under development in close cooperation with the respective organizing committees.
- For the FIS World Snow Day, a few National Ski Associations/their organisers will be selected as showcase events for the first season of the annual snow festival. Numerous ideas that help bring more children and their families on the snow will be tested. The concept of the World Snow Day will be developed further based on feedback from the stakeholders.
9.3 FIS Marketing AG
The Council acknowledged the report of Christian Pirzer, CEO of FIS Marketing AG. The fourth meeting of the board of FIS Marketing AG will take place on 29 th November 2010.
Short Summary FIS Council Meeting, Oberhofen (SUI), November 2010 9

At its last Meeting in June 2010 in Antalya, the Council sanctioned the Russian Ski Association following 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.
The objectives of the sanctions were as follows:
1. Firstly, as a retrospective measure to reflect Council’s strong disapproval to date;
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.
Furthermore, the Council had decided to suspend the passing of further sanctions subject to the Association providing to FIS, no later than 1st November, 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.

Short Summary FIS Council Meeting, Oberhofen (SUI), November 2010 10
Support from the highest levels of the Russian governing authorities through important anti-doping measures in sports have paved the way for a significant number of changes have been made including changing team and other officials, an operational anti-doping administration, comprehensive testing programmes in and out of competition, as well as anti-doping education for both athletes and officials.
The Council acknowledged the positive steps that have been taken to address the many problems in a truly meaningful way, whilst underlining that this approach of the Russian Ski Association must signify a new beginning for on-going and permanent work in the fight against doping. Consequently the Council agreed that there is no need to impose any of the additional sanctions that were suspended. However FIS will closely monitor progress with the Russian Anti-Doping work whilst supporting the on-going work.
10.2 National Doping Cases
In accordance with the World Anti-Doping Code, FIS is not entitled to review and/or amend decisions of doping cases from tests that have been carried out by the National Anti-Doping Agencies, but both FIS and WADA may appeal any decisions to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) in the event that either organisations believe that an inappropriate decision has been taken (in accordance with the relevant rules and deadlines).

The Committee for Nordic Combined
ICR - Introduce Team-Sprint as a new Team Competition format
544 Team-Sprint
544.1 Competition Realisation The competition consists of team ski jumping and a 2 x 7.5 km cross country competition skied over short laps which have to be completed by both team members. A team consists of two competitors who must participate in and complete both disciplines (Ski-Jumping and Cross- Country).
544.2 Calculation The calculation is based on the appropriate meter and point value according to the art. 527.2.3.2 and 527.4.1. For the final result list the ranking must be fixed, if necessary with technical help. In case of two or more athletes arriving at the finish line with the identical times a decision is made by the use of the photo finish video or by finish referee (art. 514.2.5). In case when no visual differences between competitors can be determined with the assistance of the technical equipment, the same rank will be given in the final result. For cup competitions, the same points will be awarded. The calculation of the jumping result is the average of both jumps these points for each team will be used for the calculation of the start time differences for the Cross-Country.
Short Summary FIS Council Meeting, Oberhofen (SUI), November 2010 54
544.3 Special Regulation The start order for the jump event is based on the actual Nation's Cup ranking. For WSC or JWSC it’s only possible to start with one team per Nation, the start numbers will be distributed in the reverse order of the nation's ranking. For World Cup or COC the number of participating teams will be according to the specific event rules. The 2 x 7.5 km Sprint is to be carried out using laps of 1500 m in length, where the competitors exchange off after each lap. After both competitors have completed two laps, the elimination modus will start, whereby the team(s) in the last position is/are dropped. The number of teams eliminated per round is determined before the event, so there are a minimum of seven to ten teams remaining for the final lap. The Cup Nations points will be awarded based on the actual standing of the team when it was dropped from the competition. Only one team per Nation will get points. The exchange area must be designed in such way, that all teams are assigned a preparation area (1.5 m width and 2.5 - 3 m in length). Each area is fenced with an opening to the exchange zone with all assigned areas situated within the prepared 30 to 40 m tag zone. The competitor who is not skiing must wait in this area. He can be coached and make preparations to his skis.
527.4.1 Cross-Country Calculation Table The points or time differences between the competitors and to the winner of the Jumping competition or Cross-Country competition will be calculated for establishing the result difference between the competitors. This calculation based on the Nordic Combined table. The value of either time or points must be mathematically rounded depending on the competition format. According to the length of the race course the following tables will be used. For the calculation a six decimal point place is used: 10 km course: 1 min.= 15 points 5 km course: 1 min.= 15 points 2 x 7.5 km course 1 min = 15 points 4 x 5 km course: 1 min = 45 points Conversion tables by deviating distances are to be specified in sole responsibility of the National Ski Associations.
In regard to the proposal of the Committee for Nordic Combined concerning the Qualification Criteria for Sochi 2014, the Council pointed out that this question is dealt with by the IOC and their requests to increase the quotas to 65 (from 55), as well as the following details would be submitted for consideration: - Nomination according to the World Cup and COC ranking (per Vancouver 2010) - Including a national quota (per Vancouver 2010) - Teams who take part in the Team competition automatically have an additional place as a reserve - Basic quota for nations with World Cup or COC points

The resulting figure shall then be divided by ten (sum A + sum B – sum C):10).
4.4.8 Rounding up and down the penalties The points shall be rounded down from four thousandths of a point downwards and rounded up from five thousandths of a point upward (e.g. 13.654 = 13.65 or 21.849 = 21.85).
