Winter Olympic Games Beijing 2022 Olympic Sports Programme

Biathlon quota reduction makes sense.

Skating does not make sense. Speed skating is seeing growth in non-traditional markets and short track is ridiculously hard to qualify

Wait, what...? Another major hit against the smaller nations after making it almost impossible for them to qualify for 2018 already?

I would imagine that big nations would no longer have max 6 athletes, but that's just a guess.

Well the top 5 nations really do not need a 6th athlete, so that saves about 10 spots.

If the reduction actually comes from the top nations, I would be positively surprised. I know there's been a lot of lobbying to try and get their 6-athlete quota down to open up some chances for smaller nations.

Officially women's nordic combined isn't in the Beijing 2026 disciplines :(

Assuming you meant 2022, I'd say that is very good news. Women's nordic combined should be in the Olympics one day, but not when there is barely even a World Cup yet (it's 3,5 years before the Olympics and last season's Continental Cup barely seemed to have any interest). It really, really needs to grow and get at least somewhat competitive before being added to the Olympics, and going from 'first ever Continental Cup season' to 'Olympic sport' in 4 years is at least 4-8 years too short.
