I'd been thinking the same thing for the last hour or so, Although, in 1928 it was too warm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has any summer Olympic event been altogether canceled 'recently'? If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

Triplecast 114 Posted February 19, 2022 #1035 Share Posted February 19, 2022 Someone just cited to Olympic Charter Bylaw 32 which basically says you can't hold an Olympic event outside the 16 day duration of ther Games. Its being speculated they could hold the Team Event at the World Cup Finals in March. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To explain, it was held simultaneously with Individual, but no team completed the event with the required number of riders so no medals were awarded. maestro and rafalgorka 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Technically, you could say every event in the 1940 SOG was cancelled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triplecast 114 Posted February 19, 2022 #1038 Share Posted February 19, 2022 More trivia, sorry, in 1968 and 1998, the 4-man bobsled was shortened due to weather. Two runs wre cancelled in 1968, one run in 1998. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
