Measuring the Athlete

Athlete must be standing up in a relaxed position during the measuring. He must be stripped down to shorts (only slip type of underwear is allowed) and barefoot. Circumference of the body and legs and arms will be measured in 90 degrees to the axis with the following exceptions:

A) Arm length: measured in a extended horizontal position of both arms from the torso. Length will be measured on the anterior side from the point between the chest muscle and rib cage to the wrist bone (marked position at the end of the forearm – (processus styloideus unlae).

B) Crotch: Vertical measurement from the ground to the crotch. Legs must be straight and feet 40 cm apart. Heels, calves, buttocks, shoulder and head must contact the wall.

 

Standard measuring elements:

 Body height 
 Crotch length (see B, C) 
 Arm length (see A) 
 Neck size 
 Foot length

By an athlete’s request a re-measuring may occur. However, only a larger value (height, length) will be considered.

 

Measuring the Suit

Suit is measured on the outer surface. Be sure that the suit is stretched flat and there are no folds. The suit will be marked and measured at the selected point, the athlete is then marked and measured at the corresponding body position.

A) Anterior arm length (AL) is measured from the intersection of the seams at the armpit, following the seam to the end of the sleeve. Measured length must be no greater than the length of the arm and no shorter than a maximal tolerance of 4 cm.

B) Anterior crotch length (SL) is measured from the intersection of the seams at the crotch of the suit (SX) following the anterior seam to the hem of the leg part of the suit. Measured length must be no shorter than the measured crotch length of the athlete.

C) Crotch: vertically from the ground to the crotch. Athlete must wear the jumping-suit and jumping boots in the same way (attached to the boots) as on the jumping hill before the jump. During the measuring feet must be 40 cm apart and the legs must be fully extended. Measured crotch length must conform to the crotch length measured on the athlete’s body. The control of crotch length and suitability has to be done at the very same time.

 

Measurement Armpit-Shoulder Part

The measurement of the circumference armpit-shoulder area is measured when the athlete is wearing the suit. The arms are extended at a 45° angle from the body. The athletes are also measured when they are not wearing the suit, with the circumference of the armpit- shoulder area measured with the arms stretched at an angle of 45° from the body.

 

Competition equipment control

Any point on the athlete’s body can be measured and compared to the corresponding point on the suit. When the athlete is wearing the suit – the athlete must stretch his arms so, that the elbows are 30 cm from the body, when the measurements are taken. Legs are also straight, feet 40 cm apart. Athlete must stand up in an upright position.

 

Plumbing the suits:

If the suit does not pass the first test (plumbing), than it is not allowed to be tested again until the next week. For all FIS qualification and competition rounds the jumpers must use suits that are plumbed.
