On Tuesday evening, it appeared on Dagsnytt 18 that the jumping management is introducing a health certificate for the Norwegian jumpers. Hoppers’ national team manager, Clas Brede Br\u00e5then, was clear that in practice it does not change any of the health tests the athletes carry out, but that it can give a good signal effect outside the country’s borders. At the same time, the jumping management now wants to work for a rule change in the sport to prevent encouraging extreme dieting among athletes. Maren Lundby has previously expressed a desire for a change in the weight rules in show jumping. WISHES CHANGE: Maren Lundby. Photo: Ole Berg-Rusten \/ NTB – Unfortunate body pressure – The better you make the regulations, the healthier the sport will be. Especially if you have health perspectives firmly anchored in the solution, which is what we initially had when we made the BMI rule, says Br\u00e5then. The BMI rule he refers to came in 2004. It was a rule that required jumpers to have a BMI (body mass index) of at least 18.5. The current regulations state that the athletes must have a BMI of at least 21 and that they must be weighed without jumping shoes. If the BMI is lower than 21, the athletes must cut the length of the skis according to a table. – I’m not sure if BMI is the best way to measure it. We should check that out. It is not certain that an equal set of regulations for boys and girls is the best, says Br\u00e5then. – It is an unfortunate body pressure, it can lead to unfortunate dieting in many contexts. For women, the consequences are much more serious than for men. As we know, this can lead to unwanted childlessness. We must, as far as possible, ensure that we have a set of regulations that in any case does not encourage it, says Br\u00e5then. Professor: – Need for further measures – We were happy when BMI was raised to 21, but there is room and need for further measures, believes Inggard Lereim, professor of sports medicine and honorary member of the medical committee of the International Skiing and Snowboarding Federation (Fis ). Lereim was part of the medical committee of Fis for 42 years before he quit after the WC in ski flying in Vikersund earlier this year. DISCRIMINATING: Lereim believes there is room for further measures to make show jumping fairer. Photo: ROGER MYREN \/ news – According to my knowledge, there is still a lot to do to make the sport both safer and fairer in terms of health. Which weight\/ski length formula you choose must be scientifically justified. – The struggle to keep a low weight, as we see in some people, should be completely unnecessary and is discriminatory for athletes with strong musculature and heavy bones, believes Lereim. Will expand the BMI table Silje Opseth won the first of two World Cup races in Polish Wisla last weekend. She is positive about making changes to the BMI regulations. – Today we have a set of regulations that are quite old. When it was created, it was mainly boys who skied. So adaptations can probably be made that make it more suitable for ladies than what we have today, says Opseth. WANTS DISCUSSION: Opseth wants FIS to enter the field to start an international discussion about rule changes. Photo: Snorre T\u00f8nset \/ news With the current regulations, for example, a jumper with a BMI of 21 and another with a BMI of 23 will have the same ski length if they are both the same height. With a height of 170 centimeters, jumpers with a BMI of 21 or more can have skis that are 247 centimeters long. An athlete who is the same height, but has a BMI of 19, cannot have skis longer than 233 centimeters. Opseth is open to expanding the current BMI table to also include BMI values \u200b\u200bover 21. “It would at least not be a disadvantage if you gave athletes who weigh a little more than the maximum limit (BMI of 21) an advantage,” says Opseth. – Then the sport would probably become fairer and healthier, she says. St\u00f6ckl: Can jump longer with shorter skis National team coach for the Norwegian men’s jumpers, Alexander St\u00f6ckl, tells news that the BMI rule is a “tool that has worked extremely well”. But: – The challenge we face now is that technology and equipment have developed so well that you can jump with shorter skis and jump the same distance, or perhaps longer, says St\u00f6ckl. DEVELOPMENT: National team coach Alexander St\u00f6ckl believes there has been great development in technique and equipment in recent years. Photo: Patrick Mathisen \/ news He believes it leads to some athletes trying to lose weight and get below 21 in BMI. – One could perhaps punish those with a low BMI more severely, suggests the coach. Opseth gets combined support Combined runner Jens Lur\u00e5s Oftebro, like Opseth, believes in an extended BMI table. – I see no reason why the upper limit should not be higher, it is quite low, says Lur\u00e5s Oftebro. JUMP FURTHER: Jens Lur\u00e5s Oftebro has a higher BMI than 21 and is positive about raising the limit. Photo: Vesa Moilanen \/ Lehtikuva \/ NTB – With a change where, for example, you can ski longer if you have a higher BMI, I could have had the opportunity to ski longer. Combined, we would have liked to see the BMI scale go higher, as we have a body composition that requires more muscle to cross-country ski as well. Gyda Westvold Hansen says that the small margins in jumping are not so decisive in the combined, but believes that a rule change would be positive. POSITIVE: Combined runner Gyda Westvold Hansen is positive about a weight rule change Photo: Stian Lysberg Solum \/ NTB \u2013 Maren (Lundby) has also suggested that you can have a percentage-larger jump suit depending on how big you are on the body, which I think is a good input. It sounds very logical to me, says the reigning combined world champion. Sandro Pertile, race director for ski jumping in Fis, told news last week that they are trying to prevent the extreme challenges around weight. When asked if there were health challenges in show jumping, he replied: – I don’t think we have health challenges, and see no reason to make changes now. But we will follow through the winter.
