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

 

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...

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

Because Canada already wins enough medals

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

I would imagine four-man to 25 and women’s to 25

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.

Meh. At least better than adding the utterly competitionless women's 4.

What the fuck, that's not even a thing...at all.

Mixed Ski Jumping Team Event

Meh. At least better than adding the women's team event with maybe 1-2 nations having a chance.

Men’s and women’s Ski Big Air

And down goes the hope that the whole Big Air was just one mistake in 2018 and we won't see it again.

[Gianlu33 6,007]

So.. no chance for natural luge?

 

[heywoodu 16,460]

Oh well, it's cute that they added an event created for the Youth Olympics, to at least give 'something'. 

[intoronto 6,891]
