For the first time ever freestyle skiing will have the most events of any winter disciplines (and 15 is the most any winter discipline has ever had).

 

Though, once again, freestyle skiing really should be split three ways (freestyle, park & pipe and cross).

Freestyle skiing and snowboarding need to be restructured together (and add PSG to alpine)

Any idea if women's doubles luge will be a part of the relay?

Figure skating will likely drop a pair or ice dance pair

Yeah, here’s the document with quota allocations by sport/discipline: https://stillmed.olympics.com/media/Documents/Olympic-Games/Milano-Cortina-2026/Milano-Cortina-2026-Event-Programme-and-Athlete-Quota.pdf?_ga=2.244730112.40249555.1656024642-1966400876.1656024642

 

 

Figure skating lost 1 quota per gender, with speed skating also losing 1 quota per gender.

Thanks.

 

Mens doubles is down to 12 by the looks of it (or singles is reduced even further). I wonder if that means max 1 sled per NOC in doubles 

[dcro 10,210]

I suspect it could be like 27 singles, 16 men's doubles, 10 women's doubles.

 

Women having less quotas likely suggests that either the women's doubles will not be a part of the relay, or that the doubles part of the relay will be "open" (most likely imo).

Good to see, that the IOC still have principles and don't discriminate the Winter Olympics. Instead of only shitting on the Summer Olympics they are being equally fair and are shitting on the Winter ones too. They haven't reached full equilibrium, but 2030 is close.

Some clarity on the alpine combined situation from the FIS.

 

”FIS has proposed an Alpine Combined Team Event for the 2026 Programme. FIS will work with its stakeholders to determine the best format for the proposed Alpine Combined Team Event and present it to the IOC by April 2023. FIS will propose that the Team Event would be in addition to the traditional Alpine Combined as a replacement to the Alpine Mixed Team Parallel, which will not be on the 2026 Programme due to the travel logistics between the venues.”

Also, for @dcro some info on the luge team relay courtesy of the FIL.

 

”With the inclusion of women's doubles in the Olympic program, a women's double will also be added to the Olympic team relay competition. Starting in Milan-Cortina 2026, a team relay per nation will consist of two doubles (one female and one male) and two singles of both genders.”

Wow this will be a snoozefest.
