DAY 16 OLYMPIC SCHEDULE -
By BMOlympics · Posted
And how do you envision there to be any skiing or snowboarding prospects if there is not a single place for them to start practicing from a young age in the first place? Like seriously, what exactly do you suggest, just start sending a bunch of Dutch kids to the Alps in hopes that they become the next winter sports prodigy? Because we are already doing the things you said with a couple of snowboarding athletes that train with other international athletes in the Alps, but the problem is that they 'wasted' the most important years of their development by simply not being surrounded by snow/mountains and being able to train whenever they want, which is a disadvantage that no amount of money can make up for. -
The Swedish bosses will be kicking themselves for their decisions to send skiers home! -

I will jump here. No country is required to have snow and/or mountains to be good at Winter sports. They will just invest in sending the prospects to train in places where there is snow. We have snow and mountains and still our few athletes have camps around 80% of their season in the Alps, because the conditions, facilities, competition etc. is better. The Netherlands which is far richer, far more sporting organized and has far more people willing to become elite athletes could set up programs with ease on snow sports. They just don't, because it's not in their culture and not because they don't have the resources/conditions. -

You’re right. We finished in 6th. -
Have they Said that?😓 Happy for Tyler Tardi. Disturbing to see Jacobs, Kennedy and Hebert win. They are however joining Anette Norbergs team, Rasmus Wranå, John Morris and Kaitlyn Lawes as the only curlers with 2 Olympic golds. Hasselborg's team Will hopefully join the same club today. -
And also Jonna Sundling. So Sweden Will have 2 Skiiers today and one of them is Ribom who was not even intended to go the 50km.

Someone more knowledgeable of the sport will have a better idea but at this point I would actually be surprised if it is not there for the 2030 olympics. I cannot imagine the FIS and some of the NOCs making the investments/effort that they have in Freeride if they were not expecting it to be an olympic sport soon.
