Sara Takanashi, Daniela Iraschko-Stolz and Katharina Althaus in the first series and Anna Odine Stroem and Silje Opseth in the second – these are players disqualified from the results of the mixed teams competition during the.
Chika Yoshida explains the chaos at the IO mikstwa competition. A pi of disqualification
. It was she who decided that four national teams – Japan, Austria, Germany and Norway – stopped counting in the fight for medals in the Monday competition.
Chika Yoshida, director of the women’s competition, comments on the disqualification for Sport.pl. “I came down to the equipment control room right after the first round and found out about what happened. I can say that all the competitors had equipment that deviated from the FIS rules. All teams are trying to find the best solutions and suits that will give them an advantage and therefore good results. This is how I understand what happened – he told us.
“These disqualifications are no good for our sport”
“It would be a difficult and mute day,” continues Yoshida. – These disqualifications are no good for our sport. But rules are rules. We cannot change them, we must respect them. And that’s why there are so many disqualifications today. Because who did not have equipment that would be compatible with them – he explains.
– This shouldn’t have happened. It doesn’t matter if it’s the Olympics or the World Cup. We’ll talk to the cadres about what happened. We don’t want to see it anymore. What else can we do now? What shall I say? Yoshida asks helplessly.
Director of P of the women defends Baczkowska. “The inspection has done its job”
After the competition, there were many criticisms of FIS and Agnieszka Baczkowska. Yoshida defends. – Today we have a lot of controls and the cases of disqualified players are a minority. Most passed the inspection without a problem. Others, unfortunately, do not. During the meeting with the captains, Agnieszka Baczkowska raised the issue of overalls. She informed that there was a complaint about how they looked in one team during Saturday’s individual competition. Equipment inspection simply did its job. But it is the national teams that tell you which suits you jump in. It is their job to check them and jump into the rules. Cases that go beyond the rules end with exclusion from the competition results as it is today – he assesses.
– I wouldn’t call it a disaster contest. Does anyone lose control of how human resources develop equipment? No no no. Disqualification is disqualification. This is not a fault on our part – assures Yoshida.
Yoshida on Horngacher’s words: Kady is entitled to his opinion
The course of the competition after the competition was commented on by the coach of the German team, Stefan Horngacher: – Of course, it’s a very bitter pig. It is only necessary to say that at the Games the controllers start to control and measure differently and more. It’s slowly becoming the Punch and Judy show for me [angielski teatr kukieek, w ktrym przedstawienie zazwyczaj koczy si okadaniem kijem]. Already in men’s jumping there are many problems and every day new rules are created. This is not in the spirit of sports. I will think about it for a long time -. – I will have to think whether I want to participate in this theater -.
We ask Yoshid how he will react to this statement. – I do not want to comment on Saint Horngacher. Everyone has the right to their own opinion. That’s all – the activist ends.
