Snow or Ice or GTFO! Sometimes i wish i was in these organization's structures, so i can give them a piece of my mind.

I def agree, but I don't have a problem with having a sport that doesn't *need* to be held on snow get held on snow (which can be down for cross country running and cyclocross).

 

In a way it's not that different from ski jumping, which can be done almost identically without any snow or ice.

As long as there is a 2900 athlete quota cap it is rational for every winter IF to be against any expansion of the program (except for their own sport).

I agree. If there will stay 2900 athlete quota cap, please do not add any other sport to WOG.

Especially if you see what they did with ski jumping and nordic combination.

French organisers don’t seem to keen on Nordic Combined or Ski Mo.

German media is reporting that there is a rumor of skeleton, bobsleigh and luge being dropped from the program.

I don't think there is such a rumor, it's more of a point to show how weak german results are outside of these sports (the media here is a one-guy operation anyway).

The sports will be okay for 2030 and 2034 as the facilities are already there. Later on, there might be an interrogation point as german domination is structurally guaranteed to last forever...

That would be insane, cant see it happening. There's already a sliding track in La Plagne basically ready for Olympic competition so it doesn't make any sense.

 

Getting rid of a historic sport like bobsleigh would surely also get a lot of backlash despite the German domination.
