Your own programme for the 2030 French Alps Winter Olympics

[De_Gambassi 1,362]

Alpine skiing (10)

 

*No changes. I don't regret neither the old combined events, nor the team event. I think we have the best possible outcome now. Schedule could be revisited though.

 

Biathlon (11)

 

* Single mixed relay instead of regular mixed relay. If you want a third relay, let's have one with a different format. Two teams per country

 

Bobsleigh (4 -> 3)

 

* Drop that Monobob nonsense. It's ok, if we don't have the exact same number of events between males and females. Two teams per country (sorry Germany), push for standardized bobsleighs in two-woman and two-men.

 

Cross-country skiing (12 -> 14)

 

 

* Have both free and classical sprint events

* Make sure you have real sprint courses, and no Klaebo-sprint courses

 

 

Curling (3)

 

*As a pure two-weeks-every-four-years curling guy, I prefer the mixed format over the longest one, but I assume purists will disagree, so it's ok 

 

Figure skating (5 -> 4)

 

*Drop the team event or come with something better. As it stands, it's too much artificial.

 

Freestyle skiing (15 -> 13)

 

 

* Remove aerials altogether. It was ok to have gymnasts doing crazy stuff on air for a time, but with the inclusion of other crazy stuff from actual skiers, it became pointless

* Keep dual moguls, but tweak it so that speed becomes way more prevalent

* Add mixed skicross event

 

 

Ice hockey (2)

 

- ok -

 

Luge (5)

 

* Drop the women's double, not competitive enough.

 

Nordic combined (3 -> 4)

 

* Keept it !

* Add one women's events, no need for more

* Make one of the men's event a Mass Start

* Add one woman to the relay

 

Short-track speed skating (9)

 

- ok -

 

Skeleton (3)

 

- ok -

 

Ski jumping (6 -> 5)

 

* Have only one mixed team event and that's it.

 

Ski mountaineering (3 -> 5)

 

* Make it a core sport ! (I believe it brings enough variety to the program to keep it for good)

* Have sprint events ont the longest relay course

* Add individual events

 

Snowboarding (11 -> 14)

 

* Add a parallel slalom team event

* Add freeride events

 

Speed skating (14 -> 13)

 

* Drop the Mass Start, it's not your sport ! 

* Bring an all-around team event, or possibly both individual all-around events if the athletes are up for it. 

 

Bandy (as an additional sport) (0-1)

 

* Men only, and if it makes sense for the host country.

 

 

TOTAL: 116 -> 118/119

*Ice hockey - adding 3x3 version like 3x3 basketball, and 1-2 places reserved for "non-hockey" countries  (not represented at OG last 3 editions) * curling -  add 2 places (from 10 to 12) to add the same 3x3 basketball rule. New possibiliies / new markets * Nordic Combined - full support for women's event and I like idea for ski jumping as a second *ski jumping - team (2 person) for women's  men's and mixed event. *Alpine skiing - remove team event or change format plus reduce places *FigureSkating - add synchronising figure skating  for 8 teams * Limit some freestyle skiing / snowboard to smallest number like 16/24 competitors and max 2 per nation / *add Ice cross, Ice climbing *cross-country skiing -  4x3,5 km or less instead of 4x7,5km *speed skating - Mass Start as a point races like in cycling track, I hate this format.  Plus add team sprint.
