With the women's field likely coming in, men will be lucky to keep four. Could drop to three should they replace the team relay with mixed team relay. #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Buzzi and Bortolas do now look so bad, that should be two for 2026. I forgot about Fontana and Retornaz (maybe missed somebody else) who could also compete in 2026. Fischnaller in snowboard might also do it. Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached.

Well, they have unfortunately capped the total nimber of athletes. It would be surprising then if they didn't continue the practice of reducing men to accomodate women. #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'd be so sad, especially considering women's Nordic combined is still so....you know. It's growing and that is absolutely good, but men's NC is already fairly uncompetitive in a broad sense, let alone the women. dcro 1 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!

Monzanator 3,595 Posted February 10, 2022 #66 Share Posted February 10, 2022 Nordic Combined has been about Germany, Austria, Norway, Finland & Japan for the last 30 years. USA & France have tailed off and we have random field-fillers from Italy or Czech Republic. The competition hasn't really changed much since like forever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frenzel will be back for the team competition, Weber has to go home sadly. Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached.
