I guess the first one is a simple slalom with addition of times of a man and a woman (or 2+2, it doesn't change anything), meanwhile the second one would be a parallel event (slalom or PGS, TBD) with a format like the current team event in Alpine Skiing... but this is just my interpretation...it could well be something different (like 2 parallel events, one with slalom course and the other with PGS course)...it's difficult to get it right until they explain something more properly... by the way...I'm disgusted by all kind of team and mixed events proposed by the FIS Congress...and I hope they're not gonna be part of the next OG...

intoronto 4,584 Posted June 29, 2018 #53 Share Posted June 29, 2018 Nothing is final but... Luge men's quotas will be reduced to 35 and women increased to 35, skeleton will also see same difference. Men to 25 (from 30) and Women up to 25 (from 20). Not sure about bobsleigh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure about bobsleigh Not sure about luge, but for skeleton I'd say that's good news since the women's field, especially right beneath the very top, is rather competitive.

heywoodu 13,751 Posted July 18, 2018 #59 Share Posted July 18, 2018 Oh well, it's cute that they added an event created for the Youth Olympics, to at least give 'something'.
