Mondiali Freestyle 2007

以前から、FreestyleがFIRSの競技に入ってますが、Speedのカテゴリーに入っているのは、ちょっと違和感があります。しかし、種目によっては、とても面白そうです。
JRSFやTRSFでも話題になってました。







■Speed Slalom
The performance
Time trials : The competitor will perform 2 runs : 12meter start, 20 cones spaced by 80cm, and 80 cm before the finish line = 28meters of run. Each cone down or not slalomed will make 0.2 second penalty. Time is going from the start until the finish line. Time trials will produce a time trials ranking useful to build up the KO system.
The duels : KO system does oppose competitors (example for 32 people) in the following order = 1-32, 16-17, 9-24, 25-8, 5-28, 21-12, 13-20, 29-4, 3-30, 19-14, 11-22, 27-6, 7-26, 23-10, 15-18, 31-2.
The qualifications can select 32 people, or 16, or 8, or another number according to the number of skaters taking part and the schedule. If there's less than 32 competitors, the ranking remain the same, opposing some competitors with nobody, then the competitors win the dual and goes directly to the next step (example)).
The winner of a duel opposing 2 competitors is the first competitor winning 2 runs, so a duel can be 2 runs or 3 runs. In order to identify the 3rd, a consolidation final is played between the losers of the ½ finals.

■Freestyle Slalom
The performance
The competitor will perform a 1minute30second run (time starting at the first cone) over the 3 lines of slalom, 20 cones each, 50cm-80cm-120cm. The performance will be achieved with music, which the competitors will provide on tape or CD before his run.
All the competitors will perform a first run, then they will perform the second one. Some extra training time can be proposed.

■The performance
The competitor will jump over a bar. He can try 2 times (or 3 times for the last 3 competitors) to jump over, if he does he can continue the contest. The competitor can also decide not to jump a bar of jump, waiting for the next step.

■High-Jump
The performance
The competitor will jump over a bar, thanks to a jump board (flat, 60cm high, 120cm large, 230cm long). He can try 2 times (or 3 times for the last 3 competitors) to jump over, if he does he can continue the contest. The competitor can also decide not to jump a bar of jump, waiting for the next step.
