Because they're retarded. 

 

In a second I thought they are just envisaging to put a mixed parallel Giant Slalom event instead of the M and W PGS or something like that, but then I noticed that they also wrote 13 events in cross country skiing and a total of 50 events for FIS sports so I assume it´s just the amount of medal sessions including the Nordic combined cross-country parts and both snowboarding PGS will be contested in the same session...or I am just still wrong and just somehow still did not understand this article

Anyone know why FIS wrote that there will be 9 events in snowboarding ? http://www.fis-ski.com/news-multimedia/news/article=pyeongchang-2018-competition-schedule-published.html

But they work whit a bottle of vodka on the desk?  Fis is amazing.

Better than those 'a truck ran over them but let's still use them anyway' medals from Vancouver 2010

So is it legit to call the Pyeongchang medal the 'I don't care just carve Olympic Rings on a tree bark' medal?

Yep  

 

Although I do like that at least the shape is like that of a normal medal, not some 'look at us, we are creative!' hipster kind of thing

Uninspired medals? Only fitting for the Olympics for which no Korean would care about (at least outside of short track arena).

Have to agree on this. In badminton they decided to change the usual circle to 'whatever I just want the BWF logo shape' which I found pretty annoying

may I ask you where did you find those pictures?

 

because according to the Official Olympic Website (and the best Italian sports website) the Olympic Medals look pretty normal...they do not look like that at all...
