Just wondering, with the addition of a women's luge doubles, would the mixed team event expand to include both the men's and women's doubles or just stay the same with the Open doubles?

 

Personally I would rather keep the open doubles because otherwise it will keep limiting the number of competitive nations.

I believe they announced earlier that all 4 events will be a part of the relay.

 

I always found them rather dull, but with 4 legs it will become even more predictable, and frankly, unwatchable.

A question:

 

I don't know much about skeleton, so maybe you know better.

 

How many teams from one NOC will participate in 2026 olympics - mixed team skeleton event???

[rafalgorka 1,634]

Do we know whether alpine combined M and W events are confirmed for 2026 Olympics???

So it looks like relay in Nordic Combined was excluded from the programme, Team sprint instead

Might be one of the most predictable events in the entire (Winter) Olympic program, with a super-small list of countries with any remote sort of medal chance, but still sad to see it go

And I've just found that Men's Team Event in Ski Jumping is with 2-person format now — Super Team.

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.

Yeah, they have been doing it this season.  It does have the good effect of making the last eight cutoff point a lot less predictable, but the medals generally go to the usual nations.

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
