not so fast, man!

 

according to the main Italian expert, the 2026 combined event in Alpine Skiing will still be the "classic" DH (or SG, the jury is still out) + SL individual event

 

any possible format change will only be applied from the 2030 on

Was this reversed?

yes

 

as you can read in the document, the AC was only a proposal subject to change (FIS wanted more time to finalize the actual format) and according to Max Ambesi the new format was rejected (especially by the FIS Athletes' Commission) and the return to the old format was suggested

 

there's not official announcement yet, but if Ambesi says something, you can bet he knows what's behind the curtain ;)

no, I think until after Paris we won't see any detail about the 2026 schedule, my guess it's for the early 2025 (the first release)

Yuuuuuuup. Same deal with the Nordic Combined team event, it's not a team sprint.

 

The alpine combined event is also now a team event.

I just realized that. It is SUPER bad news.

 

Four people were a TEAM and it felt like one when they competed. Now that we are going to only have two people it is not a team event, it is just two people. Like kayak doubles or double sculls in rowing. 

 

I personally wonder why you could not have both? There is enough time in the schedule. Still you are going to have enough qualified athletes to have at least eight teams in the competition. In fencing they only allow eight teams and everybody is happy. No idea why they cut the real team event :( Is it at least possible for a NOC to include two two-person teams in the event? Kayaks have allowed it in Paris to have more than one K2 boat in the competition...

 

Btw the cross-country relay event still consists of 4 athletes, so FIS is not even internally consistent...

Both :ASA and :VAN have American halfpipe skiers aiming to qualify for these games

Lol :VAN Jeanee Crane-Mauzy‘s explanation of what her ties to the country are is genuinely hilarious. She says she wants to compete for Vanuatu to raise awareness for climate change.

I put that up there with Togo's skier who said she felt connected to the country because her dad owned a clothing factory there

I would assume when cutting the team event from 4 to 2 athletes, at least countries can have two teams...otherwise it's going to be an epically empty field of athletes in the Nordic combined especially.

 

Alpine combined thing is just a shame, instead of it being a full individual event, but yeah, that was unavoidable. Just like the cross-country skiing distances, where in Cortina the men will also do the - for them - ridiculously short 10k interval start and 20k skiathlon. Luckily at least they made the women's mass start 50k instead of shortening the men's to 30k, but still.

Judging by her results she is at least a lot more competitive than Elizabeth Swaney was. I mean, not really competitive for the medals and that's totally fine, but not just someone who literally only shows up to avoid falling and so get the points.

    • Its a bit off top, but Turkmenistan also was only one country in the world without official case of covid 
    • In the USSR, when Stalin died, there was de-Stalinization but some of his monuments remained, although, for example, the names of cities were changed. I feel sorry for the people living in Turkmenistan or smiliar countries but what can be done? The USA could to introduce some civilized life in Afghanistan but this government was so weak that it fell a few weeks after the Americans left. It would probably be similar here.
    • I love to see more competitions but we had the highest level for 6 weights in Paris, non-Olympic events also needed a top tier competition for this year of 2024.   considering the fact that the IOC is shrinking the competition to just 16 per weight, it wouldn't that bad to have a full 10 weight competition for each style, giving the chance to everybody.   but we would see lots of big names not participating because of the Olympics (and the recovery time after that) so I think that was the best solution.    ps: if it was up to me entirely  I think 8 weights is good enough for men (6 is too less, 10 is too much) and all of them should be in the Olympics. but unfortunately it's up to King T. and his goons. 
    • I’ve only seen things related to the father of this current president. And not even much of that, everything had the face of the new one now.   but of course, I saw only what I was allowed to see , that is how things work if you want to visit it :-)
