Yay, they really did those nordic combined girls dirty, lots of false hopes thrown around for years and probably the sport will be chopped before they get to compete. 

 

And so much for the hosts having much influence...3 races in ski-mountaineering (with the main event excluded) instead of the 5 everyone was saying and not even a parallel slalom, or a mixed parallel event since they like them, in snowboard.

The IOC really did alpine snowboarding dirty by removing the parallel slalom given it requires no additional venues or athletes.

Am I the only person surprised there's no mixed relay in CC skiing?

It isn't at worlds so I'm not surprised at all.

It's not 1998 anymore. Snowboard parallel events are viewed as boring and outdated these days. If not for Ledecka that would be a total marketing no-show.

Bach wants Germany to win the medal classification so he won't gift a free gold medal to Norway on his watch Especially that mixed skeleton and luge W doubles are semingly gifts for two Germany golds instead.

No single Mixed relay in Biathlon

Fwiw it was added on the request of Russia.

Any idea on how the luge breakdown will be?

 

Figure skating will likely drop a pair or ice dance pair

Don't think the FIS proposed one. Surprised they didn't.
