I wouldn't even try. Panamsports has the worst communication strategy ever

Well...my dozen or so unanswered emails to them about results would seem to confirm that, but I’m persistent

2021 Summer Deaflympics postponed from December to May 2022.

[Olympian1010 7,975]

Sports/Event Program and quotas announced for the 2024 Winter Youth Olympics.

 

Also, more athletes, and most importantly, no Mixed NOC events! 

[Olympian1010 7,975]

The new individual event(s) to be confirmed is the (M/W) 1500m in short track.

 

Dual Moguls in Freeski and Parallel Slalom in Snowboard are under consideration.

 

Cross Country Cross (M/W) was the only non-team event dropped.

What other team events were dropped?

 

I noticed a team relay in long track. @heywoodu

Curling mixed doubles gets additional quotas as well

The Mixed Nordic Team Events was dropped, and replaced by team events in each discipline. I believe the Ski-Snowboard Cross Relay was dropped as well. 
 

Curling Mixed Doubles didn’t not receive an increase in entries, but Curling received an increase in quotas. This was done to accommodate the presence of national teams in Mixed Doubles. It looks like we’ll have 16 NOCs in Mixed Team and 24 pairs in Mixed Doubles.

Maybe we can see an exotic country break through...

We saw a pretty good distribution of countries at Lausanne 2020, so there should be a good chance of that.

Too bad it was replaced by yet another mixed team event, ugh.

I believe this was tested out somewhere last season, rather unspectacularly...the speed difference is just so big it really only depends on the women's strength.
