Busy six months! Is there live commentary?


Curious; the second finisher got a finish penalty for finishing at 267m ("Finish too low 267 m - Penalty 14 sec"); yet, the local procedures document on the website, para G2a, says minimum finish height is 183m? Also, with a penalty of 14 secs, at 2 secs/m, suggests 7m plus the free first 5m, so 12m low?
