[Quasit 950]

Here's my personal programme, for now:

 

Alpine skiing (11)

- reinstating the individual alpine combined and the separate gender team combined becomes a mixed team combined;

- mixed team combined: 1 man downhill, 1 woman downhill, 1 man slalom, 1 woman slalom

 

Biathlon (12)

- add single mixed relay

- change the pursuit (unfair to base it on a previous sprint result), instead have a super sprint first round (interval) and a super sprint pursuit with the best qualifiers from the first round

 

Bobsleigh (2-4)

- unsure, don't like monobob for just one gender, so maybe a 4-woman instead OR just one event for each gender

- maximum of 2 sleds per NOC

 

Cross-country skiing (12)

- 50km in interval starts

- team sprint modus like in the qualifying round, instead of multiple interval legs

 

Curling (3)

no changes

 

Figure skating (5)

no changes

 

Freestyle skiing (14-16)

- remove mixed team aerials

- maybe add team big air or team halfpipe

 

Ice hockey (2)

no changes

 

Luge (5)

no additions; athletes limited to 2 per NOC in singles and 1 per NOC in doubles

 

Nordic combined (5-6)

- add women's

- one Gundersen event and one mass start (where skiing comes first) per gender

- 4x5km or 2x5km + 2x7,5km mixed team OR a team event for both genders

 

Short-track speed skating (9)

no changes; unsure about adding 3000m

 

Skeleton (3)

no additions; 1 team per NOC in the team event

 

Ski jumping (6)

- proper team event for men instead of "super team"

- maybe have a women's team instead of mixed team

 

Ski mountaineering (5)

- 2x vertical race, 2x individual, 1x mixed team sprint (remove individual sprints)

 

Snowboarding (13-15)

- add freeride

- maybe add big air or halfpipe team

 

Speed skating (14-16)

no changes; maybe add team sprints

 

 

New sports:

 

Bandy (2)

- men's/women's tournament

 

Cross-country running (3)

- men's, women's, team; MUST be contested on snow

 

Cyclo-cross (3)

I can already see the criticism of adding too many events by some people.  

[Book 98]

First, Ice Climbing. If it's could appear anywhere it should happen in France. I also support cross country ski and biking, but Ice Climbing is distinctly a winter sport. It's a lot different from sport climbing.

Second, I would like to see a mixed team event in Freestyle Ski and Snowboard that combines halfpipe, big-air, and slopestyle plus moguls in ski and something like knucklehuck for snowboarding. It would be a chaotic mess, there's no way to fairly equate the scores between all 4 events when there could be a mix of genders in each discipline. Also it would be a broadcasting and logistics nightmare.
 

But you can't say it wouldn't be fun to see.

I feel like adding more events without increasing athlete quotas should be encouraged. Medals bring investment in countries.

I do not agree.

If more events, increase quotas.

There are needed to qualify athletes minimum in top 30, not to have just 5 athletes/teams in competition.

No more jokes as mixed aerials or men's relay cross country 

Maybe decrease athletes per country in same event. To have 3 4bobs are too much, if i compare for example with 1 athletes per country in risky canoeing slalom

Sorry I should he more clear. If an event is added using the existing athletes, then that should be encouraged.
