Following the decision of the 2022 ISU Congress to test a new Starting Procedure for Short Track Speed Skating (“Zero False Starts”), it was decided to conduct the tests during the ISU 4 Continents Championships and four ISU World Cup Short Track Competitions.
The Evaluation report presented by the Short Track Technical Committee, concluding that the criteria for a successful testing had been achieved, was submitted to the ISU Council on December 30, 2022.
By decision of the ISU Council the testing of the new procedure has been confirmed as successful, with the consequence that the new procedure (“Zero False Starts”) will be applied for all remaining ISU Events in the season 2022/23 and in the season 2023/24.
