Approval of the Minutes of the last Meeting in Zürich (SUI), 29.06.2016 The Committee unanimously approved the minutes. 5. Reports of the Season 2016/17 All reports, statistics and Committee documents will be distributed (see enclosure). 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 07.04.2017. Proposals were received from Norway, Italy and FIS and discussed. Important key aspects touched upon in the Chairman’s report were: - Adjustment wave start - Re-introduction of Mass Start in COC/WC - Rules Ladies’ Nordic Combined COC - TD work - TD Seminar in Oberwiesenthal, so far 60 registrations - Jury Nominations JWSC Kandersteg 5.2. Sub-Committee for NC/SJ Youth & Children’s questions Lasse Ottesen reported on the activities of the Committee on behalf of Harald Haim. Main topics were the high number of girls in the Nordic Combined Youth Cup, which was noticed and discussed also for the discipline of ski jumping. The main advice of the Sub-Committee was to make sure that there is the chance to take part in both disciplines for as long as possible, meaning the girls use the same equipment the same age groups and so on. More details can be found in the in minutes of this sub-committee. 5.3. FIS Nordic Combined World Cup presented by Viessmann The Race Director reported on an impressive season for the German team. 29 events including the World Championship events were organised and 26 of them had German victories. The Race Director expressed his hope that the other nations will give Germany a fight in the upcoming winter, as more differentiated victories are needed to promote and develop the sport globally. Minutes 77th Meeting Nordic Combined Committee, Portoroz (SLO), 26.05.2017 - 4 - In total, the season had the highest number of World Cup event plus four World Ski Championship events, making 2016/17 into a very good season. The PCR was only used once, 100 % of the events were completed. Nearly all organisers have taken a step forward and developed the events to a higher level. A big topic of the winter was the Hannu Manninen (FIN) comeback, who will be joined by legend of the sport, Jason Lamy Chappuis (FRA) in the upcoming winter. But also Korea with first World Cup points and Poland having a Top Ten result are very positive trend which will hopefully continue. In the case of Poland, it would be an asset to also have an event in Poland in the future. The Olympic test events in PyeongChang also went very well, including Nordic Combined night events. The general bottom line of the weekend was very positive considering that the OC had only done one COC before. Minor things still should be worked on but the overall experience was very positive. Especially the wind net came to a very positive test. With 18 m/s of wind on top of the jumping hill, wind net took 90 % and a very nice, unproblematic jumping event took place. A special mention was given to Schonach. How they managed to host the event with what they were given in terms of weather and snow was nothing short of impressive. The Nordic Combined Triple The TRIPLE was very exciting again this year with Frenzel and Rydzek fighting as they did all season. Two photo finishes in three competitions proved the closeness of the overall result. There were no proposals to change anything in the rules and all the editions of the last years were exciting. The TRIPLE now is a strong brand after few years of development. It will also be tried to protect their respective highlights with the other FIS disciplines which might mean preferred treatment regarding the starting times. WSC Lahti Germany’s Johannes Rydzek collected impressive four gold medals and Japan and France were also able to step up their game. The Team Sprint finish could have been a catastrophe if the Russian athlete had impacted the gold medal decision in the cross-country race more than he did. It had to be discussed in the Sub-Committee who to avoid such a situation in the future. In the future, jury will have the option to take out athletes who will be overlapped and will also get a support from CIS system to make the decision. Other than that, there were no delays, no problems which is almost a miracle in Lahti’s usually very windy conditions. Youth Cup The Youth Cup can look back on its first overall season with a cup system. 191 athletes from 17 nations took part and 59 girls and 132 boys were able to take Youth Cup points. FIS was very happy to have the Crown Prince of Norway come and visit the Youth Cup Finals in Trondheim and meet the winners. Vuokatti, Oberstdorf, Harrachov and Trondheim make up a very good series for boys and girls and are important steps for their development.

Fischer According to research on sports media, reporters have both gender and racial biases. Women are marginalized in the media (Billings, Halone, & Denham, 2002), and athletes are stereotyped based on race (Banet-Weiser, 1999). These depictions affect the public’s image of athletics and particular athletes. White males are offered both more media attention and more salient coverage (Banet-Weiser, 1999; Billings, Halone, & Denham, 2002). Women are characterized for non-task behaviors (Billings, Halone, & Denham, 2002), and minority groups’ behaviors are generalized (Banet-Weiser, 1999).
