Sweden and Norway score against Fis
Several countries, including Sweden and Norway, have chosen to compete with the International Ski Federation, Fis, by putting the logo of a sponsor on their training vest. According to Fis, it is a violation of the law that may result in fines.
Charlotte Kalla, Therese Johaug and Ebba Andersson were trained with vests with registered sponsorship logos. Stock Photography.
The skiers were out on Thursday to train and know the courses before this weekend's World Cup competitions in Lillehammer, Norway. To be in the tracks, runners must have a vest that is also used for accreditation. In the training jackets, there is a sponsor logo that Sweden, Norway, Germany and Switzerland have chosen to record.
The reason is that there is a disagreement on who holds the right. Federations of nations consider that Fis does not have the right to sell this surface of the West.
– This is a brand because we do not think it is acceptable to sell an exhibition on non-eligible areas. We follow the regulations concerning their competitions and they should also consider this and not accept a right, "said Johan Sares, head of marketing at the Swedish Ski Federation Sportbladet.
Sares also says that there is no right on this surface.
Fish market manager Jürg Capol calls it to manipulation and tells VG that it can put an end to the fines. He thinks that there is a violation of the law and a danger to safety, and that the vest is considered an accreditation and therefore can not be torn.
