Do we know where Big Air is being hosted in 2026 yet? I know Livigno is hosting the freestyle & snowboard events, but is the big air happening there too? Or are they going to build an artificial ramp in Milan - I know they've had a few World Cup competitions in the EXPO 2015 park?

it will be in Livigno...

 

there's no chance to host a snow event (even something like big air) in Milan in the middle of February...

15 days ago, we were up to well above 20°C during those sunny days...:yikes: :facepalm:

 

the 2015 Expo Area is no longer available, as many new projects are being completed in the 2022/2026 period (the new site of the Galeazzi Hospital, the new Milan State University campus, one of the biggest Research Institute in Europe -named Human Technopole- and a whole new commercial and residential block, with new sites for many important industries/banks operating in town)...

New events:

 

* Ski Mountaineering men's sprint, women's sprint and mixed relay (no individual race, so three events rather than the expected five)

* Skeleton: mixed team

* Luge: women's doubles

* Freestyle skiing: men's and women's dual moguls

* Ski Jumping: women's large hill individual

 

The alpine skiing mixed team event is removed, alpine combined may be removed.

Men's Nordic Combined is included in 2026, but women's Nordic Combined is not. IOC says that for Nordic Combined to be included in 2030 it will require that women's Nordic Combined be developed further.

Also important to note they commented on the sport’s continental reach playing a role in its selection for 2030.

Dual moguls? Sure, let's add new events that we already have...

 

Mixed team skeleton is kind of ridiculous. I'm surprised IBSF has this much leverage. Monobob got included whilst only existing at YOG. Mixed team skeleton does not exist at all.

 

And how on earth did the luge relay survive? Surely they don't expect many nations to qualify in all four events? The event will now take like 5 minutes per team and it was already uneventful as it was? Maybe they just aim to keep the doubles part "open" and kind of ignore the fact that everyone would select their men's team.

The event I'm most surprised survived was the mixed aerials team event tbh.

    • Linn Gestblom (previously Persson) Will miss all season. Not recovered after surgery.
    • Greece and Portugal also have winter sports centres - but of course these are not homologated routes for World Cup competitions I have never been to Albania personally, so I don't know the country at all. I have been in southern Croatia, though, and there are mountains there but you definitely can't ski there (I was there in the summer, but it's also impossible in the winter). World cup taking place there only in Zagreb.    In general the case of Colturi and Kostelic is completely different: Colturi has no ties to Albania and Janica Kostelic was Croatian and didn't left their country even though at the beginning of her carrier (and also her brother Ivica) her father had to pay for everything and the federation's support was zero. This only changed later. I imagine that the Kostelic family had offers from other countries (Austria, Switzerland, Italy?) to compete for them, which were much richer (at the beginning of the 21st century Croatia was a very poor country and devastated by war). All the more respect for them because they were true Croatian patriots until the end. I can imagine the Colturi family in a similar situation... Her mother would probably negotiate with half of Alpine Europe for Lara to compete for them Which of course doesn't change the fact that the Italian federation completely gave a shit in this situation. They let such talent go in a situation where they hasn`t a single female athlete on the podium of the World Cup in slalom for a dozen or so years. In the giant slalom it's not much better either, only there the older athletes cloud the picture: Brignone and Bassino. However, behind these two there is absolutely nothing...
    • Atalanta is probably playing the most beautiful football in Europe right now: spectacular and effective. It's nice to watch and they don't have to spend a lot of money for it.   Inter is playing very economically. It's not impressive but it's consistently collecting points. It's also the only team in the Champions League that hasn't conceded a goal this season.   Milan played very poorly yesterday but they won. They have 9 points and are close to qualifying for the play-offs.
