Do you think it would be similar with natural luge? Germany would definitely strengthen there if this discipline was included in the Olympic program.
But for Today the chances of an Olympic medal for us in this discipline are small. Italy's problem is that we couldn't force the IOC to include at least 1-2 disciplines where we are strong, e.g. PSL in snowboard alpine or team event in the same snowboard. Not to mention natural luge, which could just as well have been in the program instead of this ski mountain. I remember in Sochi 2014 how many additional disciplines Russia got to win more medals as the host. The same will happen in Los Angeles 2028 with the USA...
ExpandThis will be dangerous for qualification of 2nd man and 2nd woman to the Olympics?
In general almost all Fisi sports have been doing terribly this season. One debacle after another and the Colturi case completes the scale of embarrassment. Apart from single star like Goggia, Brignone or Pellegrino, only the alpine snowboard looks good.

I also prefer foursomes rather than fourballs maybe they think of scheduling issues, but a 16-team draw means 4 rounds, which isn't impossible to be accomodated in 2, max 3 days* (and there are more than 3 days between the 2 individual tournaments) *round of 16 in day 1, quarters in the morning of day 2, semis in the afternoon of day 2, finals in day 3 (and pushing the program to the limit, it's also possible to keep the event within 2 days only)

yes, almost perfectly (well, with a couple of blocks here and there, but still, more than OK, especially if compared to 7plus)

It`s funny to me that as a host we won't win anything in this niche discipline and the medals will be won by Spain, which doesn't put any money into winter sports at all. Our defeat next year in Cortina will also be due to the fact that we are too weak to push through our strong disciplines, as additional ones, they just impose on us those in which we are weak. It would have been enough to adds:
2 PSL in snowboard alpine + team event in snowboard alpine, instead of a mixed team in sci alpinismo. Then we would have 2-3 more possibile medals for us and now Spain or France will win another one
It's strange to me that the country - the organizer of the games is treated like some trash and no one takes its opinion into account.
ps. Malago is in worse treated in this IOC than Zelensky was recently with Trump, because at least the other one is allowed at the table, while no one respects ours to even let him speak.
