Covid-19: Guidelines for this summer

New guidelines for summer Ski Jumping events were defined at today's meetings of the Ski Jumping of the International Ski Federation FIS.

From 40 to 30 days before any FIS Ski Jumping summer event (Grand Prix, Continental Cup, FIS CUP), Race Directors/Cup Coordinators, national ski associations, and local organizing committees have to evaluate the current status of the preparation according to the Covid-19 situation.

At the latest 30 days before the team captain's meeting of the event, the "Event Task Force" (Race Director/Coordinator, national ski association, local organizer) has to announce the postponement or cancellation of the event if the conditions do not allow organizing the competition due to national health and/or travel restrictions related to Covid-19.
Nevertheless, in view of the unpredictable situation with Covid-19, cancellations may occur after the deadline described above.
