They really did Telemark dirty. Come on, it was something new! I'm really sad it didn't make the cut...

Being included in YOGs first is a good first stop, let the sport grow and put in the big event when its interesting to watch.

Yes, and not after only a handful of years.

So, they cut the total number of athletes... They dropped 37 quotas

I'm more of the "IOC destroys women's sports by adding them to the Olymics while not being competitive yet, so people think they are bad" camp  

 

I want to see two women's bobsleigh events, I want to see women's Nordic combined, but they have to be given at least some time to grow up into something that is at least somewhat competitive.

 

I'm not 100% behind IOC changes either (those mixed events are mostly unnecessary and will only be good for the top nations anyway), but at least they're trying to add new things (and nothing extremely radical like what happens on YOG). For some opinions here, it looks like 3 or 4 more women's events will completely ruin the Winter Olympics

Another option would be to remove ice hockey, that would save a true boatload of quotas.

They definitely can, if it means reducing fields in competitive sports.

Thanks for 'biting', that's all I wanted

So apparently alpine combined is not out? So much for @heywoodu's statement about Gisin being Olympic champion for all times.

 

I'm quite happy that they didn't go for that parallel/city/boring event and whatnot.

LOL no. The same nations will win other things as usual
