The International Ski Federation (FIS) is planning changes in tNordic combined. With the obvious goal to keep this sport in the program of the Winter Olympics.

 

Steps to increase popularity were presented at the Forum Nordicum event in Kranjska Gora by World Cup Event Director Lasse Ottesen. From the 2023/24 season, a super sprint, a mass start race or a mixed team competition could be added. There should also be restrictions on equipment for ski jumping and cross-country skiing in order to reduce the dominance of powerhouses such as Austria, Germany, Norway and Japan.

 

Remember IOC canceled this may the planned premiere of the women´s Nordic combined under the five rings, saying that the discipline is losing its attractiveness and they did not rule out its complete deletion in the future.

:POL Szczepan Kupczak had called it a career. He will focus on being the head coach of women's ski jumping team from now on. This leaves Polish NC with two active senior athletes at international level - Andrzej Szczechowicz and Pawel Szyndlar (who picked up some cheap points FIS points last March by attending Continetal Cup in Park City and Lake Placid where she finished dead last in all four starts :lol: ).

Oh wow, FIS coming with senseable things :yikes: 

 

Equipment restrictions should absolutely 100% be done in cross-country skiing as well. It is absolute bullshit to have the powerhouse nations going around with 50 (!) pairs of skis for a single athlete and an entire science division to join them in their trucks.

And we also get a Nordic Combined season opener from Norway this weekend, although I guess the jumping will be highlights only.  Queans (old Scottish version of the Norwegian word) & Men on both Saturday and Sunday.

@hckošice At the Continental Cup in Eisenerz today, the Provisional Competition Round was won by super young Hektor Kapustik :SVK:d 

 

https://medias3.fis-ski.com/pdf/2023/NK/4268/2023NK4268PCR.pdf

 

Sure, it's only the PCR and only jumping, but there's quite some well-known names in the field so anyway it is an excellent (and judging by his age, promising) result!

 

Edit: I had missed that the actual competition round in ski jumping had already happened as well and he won that too, by a bigger margin even!

Still do not understand and know why and when they decided to turn him into NC. He was considered as our future ski jumping representative, no idea when this project ended :d

 

When he was 11 and jumped for the first time in a Large Hill, he managed 121m, was quite a buzz here at that time..did not hear a lot about him since though...at least until @Dragon I assume was the one who mentioned him as our qualified athlete in NC for the next YWOG

Well he did finish 6 minutes behind the winner and was already far behind after 2.5km of skiing, so he might indeed be better off with a switch to ski jumping :p

Maybe it is a problem with the federation, who knows ? Maybe it would be better for him to just change nationality while there is still time, there no future for him here for sure

Some highlights from the end of the season technical meetings (will still need FIS approval):

 

- Individual Gundersen cross country distances will be increased next season (12.5k for men, 7.5km for women)

- A compact race format will also be tested over the summer (fixed time gaps based on position, and shorter distances)

- World Cup points given to Top 40

      You don’t think  and  have high chances at a medal? Especially the German, who is ahead of the Slovak athlete in the rankings from last season.
