Schubert: New athlete representative

Jakob Schubert has been selected as the new Athlete representative. Do you have any new ideas? I'm very motivated to work together with Sean McColl and the other representatives to improve our sport, especially on the way to the Olympics. I don't like how such important rules which changed our sport were made this year. There is a rules comission, but in the end there are other people who decide, even though if they have no clue of climbing. Putting in the time rule and taking out minus scoring at the same time is just nonsense! There is a lot of work to do... In my opinion the superfinal is a good solution, they have the argument against it that it takes more time and its not possible with TV and so on, but that's not right if you ask me. There are so many other sports where its not sure at all how long the comp takes and its fine. Also the time rule is really bad for the spectators, while a superfinal is awesome to watch.
