Comment on JO’s Classic Sprint by Ben Arians

As a longtime (ouch) ski coach, I agree with what Gary writes, but I also have sympathy for the skiers that were disappointed not to be racing on the Lekisch 5km course. I believe that the organizers were correct in altering the course, and that the course change made the finish order more dependent on fitness and strength over a roll of the dice on whether there would be someone sprawled across the trail upon rounding the second set of chicanes. Don’t be too quick to criticize the organizers until you look at all sides of a situation. Regarding the “back in my day” comment, technique and racer field size has changed somewhat over the past 30-40 years, so let’s not make too many comparisons to what is was like back in the day. There are still races that take place on closer turnier trails (the Oosik Classic: it’s longer and harder!), the Junior Olympics doesn’t need to be one of them. Turns: yes; too narrow: no. After skiing the course on inspection day, I was quickly convinced that the change was not simply for the safety of the less skilled skiers but for the more skilled racers that would be affected by others, particularly on the second lap. With the top skiers on their 2nd lap coming through the later starters on their 1st lap, carnage would have been unavoidable.
