Of course. It's the site of the Italian equestrian sport federation https://www.fise.it/sport/polo/news-polo/archivio-news-polo/11793-polo-alle-olimpiadi-invernali-fip-approva-proposta-italiana.html

It's not happening in Beijing , but I hope ski flying replaces the normal hill. If IOC is open for having events in countries outside the host event , then if Sion gets 2026 then they can have ski flying in Oberstdorf. They are upgrading the SF hill in US and if we get a flying hill in Asia then we might have enough flying hills for it to be included at the olympics. 

 

When it comes to expanding ladies ski jumping at the olympics , mixed team is probably the way to go. As for now there aren't enough  teams for a all female team event. 

Though I think we at least gets ladies large hill in 2026. 

 

I'm curious about ski mountaineering . I'll admit I don't know alot about it , is it climbing and then skiing down?

Yeah I'm confused about that

 

When an event needs 6 words just for the name of it, you know it shouldn't be on the Olympic programma, by the way.

And as expected in alpine skiing a parallel slalom should replace the alpine combined (draft calendar for 2019-2022 updated yesterday: http://www.fis-ski.com/mm/Document/documentlibrary/AlpineSkiing/04/33/14/longterm_18.05.2018_Neutral.pdf )

...anyone has any clue what the difference is between the Snowboard mixed team slalom and the Snowboard alpine mixed team parallel event?

Honestly I think they should add telemark, ladies NC, Freeski Big Air, Mixed Team Ski Jump. I’ve seen some of these other events and their hard to figure out, take a long time, and are pointless on the program

Still do not understand why dual moguls has never been proposed.
