Proposal 26: Revise 2B.8.2 Track Coasting [ Revision 2 ]
Committee: TrackSubmitted on 2023-08-15
Status: Passed on September 06, 2023
Background
The Coasting rules only give a very unspecific information regarding the competition venue. However, in order to make the results of coasting comparable, especially with regard to world records, this should be revised.
Note: If Proposal 24: Restructure section 2B.8 Technical Disciplines is accepted, then this proposal will change paragraph 5 accordingly, leaving the other paragraphs unaffected.
Proposal
Old Rule:
2B.8.2 Track Coasting
[...]
The event should be held on a track or other very level, smooth surface that is as clean as possible. The track may be straight or curved.
[...]
New Rule:
[...]
The competition shall be held on a standard athletics competition track with the surface as clean as possible. The speed-up distance shall begin with the straight, thus allowing the riders to first coast as far as possible on the straight before entering the bend. The inside shall be on the left in the direction of coasting.
[...]
