Could someone please explain why snowboard cross and freestyle skiing aerials have a team event and the other disciplines dont?

 

Overall very bad (organized) championships, it is completely unacceptable that disciplines get cancelled (so quickly). For some athletes that means 3 years without a major championship (2018 - 2021). In addition to that the level seems very bad in many disciplines, some of the top guys in halfpipe/slopestlye dont even bother to show up, i guess it has something to do with the X Games. In the best interest of the sport FIS and the host of the X Games should find a way to coexist.

 

I think it would be best to separate freestlye skiing and snowboarding world championships.

What's up with this weird aerials team event where there's an unequal number of athletes and so either 2 men + 1 woman or 1 man + 2 women per team? That's just nonsense

it will never happen...

 

it was the rule until 2013, then they started this unified world championship for FS and SB in 2015 and since then FIS have always said they so happy about the outcomes of this decision...

it gives a lot more visibility to both disciplines = a lot more money from TV networks and sponsors...

and you perfectly know that money moves the world...so, don't expect FIS to give up to this kind of events (actually, I expect them to try and get a super-world championship with most of their events all together...sooner or later)...
