Bode Miller has lashed out at the international ski federation, accusing the governing body of “ruining our sport” because of new equipment regulations set to take effect next year.
Before the start of last weekend’s World Cup opener in Austria, Miller called the FIS rule changes regarding minimum size and radius of skis “a complete joke.”
Most affected will be the giant slalom discipline, where skis will need a minimum radius of 35 meters, 8 more than the current limit.
“This is another step back in time,” he said. “Next year you will see people walking into a ski shop and buy better skis than we can race on in the World Cup. That’s a really bad situation.”
