Reply to "Optical fibre for starts"

Hi, Is it too late for responding ?

I had a discussion last week with D.Defago IT at the FIS headquaeter.

No optical converter has been approved by FIS at this moment and I guess there won't be any on the future. You would use one optical fiber for each system A and B for timing purpose only (no voice comm on the same fiber).

It would be very expensive to equip a slope with at least 3 fibers (without any intermediate timing) . More , what about a star or finish at different levels .

For all these reasons, Wengen re equiped its slope with good old wires two years ago.

D.Defago told me optical fiber will never be used for WC races.

Sory for my English.
