So hendi tað endiliga: Ein venjari talar alment at Craig Lord, og tankagongdini sum heild, at góðu úrslitini í dag eru bara vegna ‘superdraktir’. Update! Eitt lítið videobrot av FloSwimming við Bousquet, har hann verður spurdur beinleiðis: “I gotta ask you, what did you do to Craig Lord?” (koyrir tíverri illa í løtuni)…

Craig Lord kallar tað góð tíðindi, at FINA eftir øllum at døma longu í fyrstu testum hevur funnið fleiri draktir sum ikki fara at kunna verða góðkendar. Ein listi við góðkendum draktum kemur síðst í vikuni, men so fáa framleiðarar av ikki-góðkendum draktum opinbart at fáa eina freist uppá 30 dagar afturat, til at tillaga sínar draktir. Og so er tað tað: Fara tær draktir tá at náa at kunna verða brúktar á HM? Eg (Rókur) síggi fyri mær eitt størri óskil beint upp undir HM, tá ið allir svimjarar í senn skulu royna at fáa fatur á ný-tillagaðu superdraktunum.
Hetta veit Craig Lord at siga her á SwimNews.com: “Today in Lausanne, world-leading coaches and the FINA commission on suits meet to discuss the list of suits that have made it past the lax conditions of round one of controls. It is no secret that some of the world’s top head coaches would like to see anything approved in 2009 cut out for the world championships in Rome”. Eftir ætlan skal listin yvir góðkendar draktir so koma einaferð her síðst í mai.
Allar svimjidraktir, verandi sum komandi, skulu latast inn til FINA at eftirkannast áðrenn 31. marts 2009, um tær skulu kunna nýtast á HM í Rom í 2009. Fyrr nevndu avmarkingar verða galdandi fram til 31. desember 2009, at draktin má ikki dekka nakka ella út um akslar og øklar. Draktin má ikki skapa luftlummar, og má í mesta lagið verða 1 mm tjúkk. Hon má ikki flóta meira enn 1 Newton (t.e. 100 gr), og FINA skal sum nevnt eftirkanna allar áðrenn 31. mars 2009, sum skulu nýtast fram til 31. desember 2009. Draktin má ikki stimulera svimjaran á nakran hátt, við t.d. pínudoyving ella útlát av onkrum kemiskum/medisinskum, elektro-stimulatión ella líknandi. Loyvt er ikki at tillaga draktirnar til serstakar svimjarar, og svimjarin má ikki brúka meira enn eina í senn.
Tað er nú 12. til 14. mars at FINA møtist í Dubai, at viðgera nýggja reglugerð um ‘superdraktir’ fyri aðru ferð, og vónandi samtykkja hana. Hetta eru stórtíðindi eisini uttan fyri okkara egnu miðlar sum t.d. SwimmingWorld Magazine, har til dømis Los Angeles Times, The Canadian Press og gulfnews.com skriva, og har niðurstøðan sum heild tikist at vera, at FINA hevur forpassað kjansin at broyta støðuna uttan at tað verður eitt ‘sirkus’. Hvat skal man til dømis gera við metini sum longu standa, og er tað veruliga so at man t.d. skal hava telduflísar í draktirnar, til at tryggja at talan er um góðkenda drakt?
Har skal verða ein fundur afturat í Dubai tann 12.-14. mars, men longu nú sær tað út til at ‘superdraktirnar’ eru á veg út. Her er orðarætta pressuskrivið frá FINA, til at umganga misskiljingar:
Lausanne (SUI), February 20, 2009 – FINA, represented by its Executive and Technical Swimming Commission, Legal, Coaches and Athletes Commissions’ representatives, held today a meeting in Lausanne (SUI) with representatives of 16 swimwear manufacturers in order to examine amendments of the current ‘FINA Requirements for Swimwear Approval’.
Based on FINA’s proposals and contributions discussed at the meeting, the FINA Bureau at its meeting on March 12-14, 2009 in Dubai (UAE) will consider amendments which include :
• DESIGN: The swimsuit shall not cover the neck and shall not extend past the shoulders nor past the ankles;
• MATERIAL:
o The material used shall have a maximum thickness of 1mm;
o When used, the material shall follow the body shape;
o The application of different materials shall not create air trapping effects;
• BUOYANCY: The swimsuit shall not have a buoyancy effect of more than 1 Newton (100gr);
• CONSTRUCTION: Any system providing external stimulation or influence of any form (e.g. pain reduction, chemical/medical substance release, electro-stimulation) is prohibited;
• CUSTOMISATION: All swimsuits of an approved model must be constructed in an identical fashion with no variation/modification for individual swimmers from the samples submitted for approval;
• USE: The swimmer can only wear one swimsuit at a time;
• CONTROL: FINA will establish its own independent control/testing programme. Scientific testing will be conducted by a team led by Prof. Jan-Anders Manson, from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (EPFL) and Laboratory of Polymer and Composite Technology;
• APPROVAL: Swimwear manufacturers will be able to make submissions for approval of swimsuits until March 31, 2009.In a further step, rules applicable from January 1, 2010 will also be examined by the Bureau.
One of the main aspects to be considered is the limitation of the use of non-permeable material.
“FINA has studied this matter very carefully, and together with all interested parties and the scientific expertise of EPFL, we have reached the best possible result.
“With these amendments, FINA shows that it continues to monitor the evolution of the sport’s equipment with the main objective of keeping the integrity of sport. While we need to remain open to evolution, the most important factors must be the athletes’ preparation and physical condition on achieving their performances”, considered FINA President Mustapha Larfaoui.
Amerikanska svimjisambandið hevur sum kunnugt sett bann fyri heildraktum í yngru aldursbólkunum, til at umganga at svimjiúrslit verða ein spurningur um hvør sum hevur flest pengar. Men nú slækka tey fyri banninum, til at umganga at diskriminera ávísar trúðarbólkar, og børn sum vegna sjúku skulu umganga beinleiðis sólarljós. Bannið verður fasthildið, men børn kunnu nú søkja um at sleppa undan, um tey hava orsøk til tess. Les SwimInfo.com
