In order to do so, the competitor may have to ski against the correct ski direction and shall be totally responsible for ensuring that they do not obstruct or endanger other competitors. There will be no penalty for having committed the error as long as no time / ranking advantage have been gained and there has been no interference with other competitors. 343.7 Competitors have to cover the whole distance on their skis using only their own means of propulsion.

The responsibility for a correct passing without obstruction is on the overtaking skier.
