Tonga apparently withdrew from hosting 2019 Pacific Games. And looks like both Fiji and Papua New Guinea are not interested in hosting. Doesn't look good...

Mixed NOC 3x3 Ice Hockey.

Seriously, why the need for luge doubles? It's as if there was a tennis event where two athletes hold one racket.

Good news...I thought they were going to add the freestyle halfpipe ski ballet. 

Women's nordic combined / luge doubles and ski mountaineering could be nice events if they find their way into the Olympics.

More like a tennis event where there are two athletes both fulfilling separate roles.....oh wait, there is

Especially women's nordic combined is a good addition in my opinion. It's in the very, very early stages so it's way too early to have a serious competition at the Olympics yet, but for the Youth Olympics, a sport where the main issue is that everyone is still very young would actually be the perfect way to make a sport grow.

That sounds really extremely weird, but for sure can be funny

 

It´s in fact nowadays overtime system in Ice Hockey, but the mixed nations thing is really weird

Does anyone know if the traditional tournament is being replaced by 3x3?
