skidude Posted May 26, 2006 Report Posted May 26, 2006 http://www.skiracing.com/news/news_display.php/3821/ALPINE May 26, 2006 VILAMOURA, Portugal - Both skis and standheights will be altered for the 2007-08 season. Citing the rapid increase in injuries, particularly to juniors, the FIS and the Ski Racing Supplier Association, which is composed of most hardgoods manufacturers, agreed to make changes which would lower standheights and increase ski widths. Guenther Hujara, the men's World Cup race director, said the changes have to be made due to the rapid increase in lower leg injuries, primarily knees. Quote
Ski Posted May 27, 2006 Report Posted May 27, 2006 27m????? The return of the straight ski. Almost. It'll be interesting to see how many gates are broken in the first few GS races. Quote
