For that to happen, the IOC would first have to get agreement from international sporting federations, national olympic committtees and IOC members themselves to relax the current July/August Olympics hosting dates requirement and allow the Games to be held in the cooler months. Many can be expected to oppose such a dates change as it be very disruptive to existing competitions. When and if that such an IOC hosting rule change happens, it would certainly open the door from hot cpuntries like middle east nations such as Saudi Arabia, Qatar or United Arab Emirates (Dubai) to host the Games say in cooler November-December. We know that a Games in the oppressve July/August heat in the middle east would be impossible and deadly for athletes, officials and spectators. So there’s a lot of hoops to jump through first before such a dates change can occur. With Games in these New Norm days being awarded around 10 years or so ahead of the Games, that means there’s actually not a lot of time to get this through before 2026 comes around, which is the 10 year mark before a 2036 Summer Olympics. -

What are your impressions of the Italian team in the first part of the season? What were your expectations? -
By copravolley · Posted
The Italian team is still doing terribly. While there has been stabilization at an average level for women, there has been a dramatic downward slide for men. Today the only skier in the top 30 was Elia Barp - 23rd place. The rest without comment. Pellegrino is already going down due to age. De Fabiani is missing from 2 seasons, Graz isn`t making any progress. The only hope is Barp but he is also very unstable. Compared to the French team, we are 10 years behind I no longer believe that we will ever be reborn in this sport. If starting at home and having a theoretical advantage in materials, we are able to have 1 skier to 30 in the freestyle technique, which has always been better for us, it's hard to even comment on that. -

Ebba Andersson 32nd. Meltdown continues. I wonder if she got the same infection as Dahlqvist and Hagström

One of those disputed ones - Musgrave once was the joint fastest man in a pursuit which used to be given as a win, but the interpretation has changed a few times with the FIS trying to rationalise records between alpine & CC. Also, I think the first time in at least 10 years that any flat stage has been run as a Ski Classics-style open country race, rather than as typical stadium loops. -
