This feels like... not an argument an American (or a Canadian :P ) should be making given where we live and how many countries could "take us back"...

Plus losing one of the classic winter sports in Nordic combined would be yet another disaster. Like it's not going downhill faster than Marco Odermatt already.

And considering Lappartient is basically known as having 'Conflict of Interest' as his middle name....yeah.

What nonsense is this?     And Tour de Ski only in Italy...meh. It was such a cool event, years ago.

World Junior Championships ( Chuncheon)   Day #1 Medallists   women's -52kg Gold:  Parnian Noori Silver:  Xu Yinuo Bronze:  Sila Irmak Uzuncavdar &  Noa Romero Fernandez   women's -59kg Gold:  Aynaz Nasiri Silver:  Nuray Kaznabek Bronze:  Ella Brewster & Marija Uglesic   men's -52kg Gold:  Jung Jaebin Silver:  Stanislav Mitkov Bronze:  David Valdez Vazquez &  Vasif Salimov  

well, that's true, but at least we have something...hopefully in 2030 they will extend the schedule to the classic race (I doubt they will ever make the vertical race Olympic), instead of adding new senseless leisure time activities 

Shhhhhhhhhhhh....  Gold medal for Canada

As mentioned before, 3x3 hockey is not developed enough to be its own event and given the proposed size of teams it will literally be a B-level hockey tournament with likely the same teams as the full size.   If they want to follow in basketball's footstep the team size should be 6 players, no padding outside of the goalie, and the game played on a street of a quiet neighbourhood. Maybe throw in a car every now and then to force the players to stop and clear the street .

We have SkiMo at Olympic? We have only the circus, with the sprint. Give us the REAL SkiMo, thanks.
