English term or phrase: timing trap
this is about speed skiing

We are looking at other aspects which limit our sport – such as length of piste and difficulties of accessibility by the public – which may be overcome by using the great jumping hills and, at national level at least, reducing the length of the timing trap.

Explanation:
Könnte stimmen.

Vgl. auch http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geschwindigkeitsskifahren:
"Der Sportler nimmt auf den ersten 300–400 Metern des Kurses Geschwindigkeit auf, die auf dem folgenden 100 Meter langen Teilstück, der Zeitmesszone (chronometrage), gemessen wird."

Example sentence(s):
  • Speed skiers race one at a time through a 100-meter-long timing trap set at the bottom of the course.... Skiers go from zero to 175 in about eight seconds before the trap and then go from 175 to zer5 to zero in another eight seconds after the trap.
  • Vom Start der Strecke wird in der sogenannten Beschleunigungszone - mit maximalen Gefällen bis 112% - Geschwindigkeit aufgebaut bis die Zeitmesszone erreicht wird.
