So… news from the EB. Some Milan 2026 events got changed at the request of the FIS.

 

  • Cross Country Skiing: all men’s and women’s events contested over the same distance
  • Alpine Skiing: the combined is now a team event (one downhiller and one slalom specialist)
  • Nordic Combined: the team event is replaced by the team sprint (LH/2x7.5km)
  • Ski Jumping: the men’s team event is replaced by the so-called super team event with two athletes per team.

 

hate the new ski jumping team event format. IMO the worst change the IOC has made to the Winter Olympics since I started following.

I hate it too and do not understand. We have around 6 team competition during season. It Is the one of the most attractive competition and they will  replace it by this shit?

It’s easier on the quota distribution likely. If they lower the max per NOC now, we shouldn’t lose too many nations.

Ski jumping is shrinking with every season. Finland and Czech Republic are dead in the sport and minnows will always be minnows. I'm not surprised team event has been cut down to duets, FIS has no idea how to inject life into this sport and the recent cutdown of team quota in World Cup is pure desperation hoping that minnows will suddenly score points if Top 6 nations will have fewer eligible athletes.

 

I wonder when ski jumping will be axed from the Olympics and replaced by breakdance on snow/ice?

It’s probably fine for the time being. Ski Jumping still enjoys higher participation then some of the more niche freestyle events cough *aerials* cough.

It would be great as Lithuania might finally win their first winter Olympic medal.... If we could also remove luge and replace it with basketball on snow - it would be highly appreciated :p :lol:

    • It's now time for our parade of 35 nations.    They will be accompanied by some  TISC and TAISC competitors from the past.    First up, it's Billy Ocean performing his song from TISC 2021 Red Light Spells Danger.       Albania @Erigert    Argentina @konig      Brazil @brunamoura      Bulgaria @Federer91      Canada @Topicmaster1010      Chile @ManuCHIL    China @Vic Liu    Czech Republic @Hipooo    
    • And Ed will be back later tonight to play a melody of his top songs.    Tonight we're emanating from the incredible Goodison Park in Liverpool, which will also play host to Sunday's grand final and closing ceremony.    So let's find out a bit more about our host venue.      Built in 1892 after a dispute between the owners of Everton Football Club and Anfield Stadium (where Everton used to play) the stadium can hold a total of 39,414 people.    The stadium has played host to many memorable moments, including the vast majority Everton's 130+ years in top flight football, their miraculous last day relegation escapes, the 1893-94 FA Cup final between Notts County and Bolton Wanderers and 5 games at the 1966 World Cup including the Quarter Final between Portugal and North Korea and the Semi Final between West Germany and the the Soviet Union.    This ground was also chosen by lifelong Everton fan Sylvester Stallone to play host to the fight between Adonis Creed and "Pretty" Ricky Coclan in the 2015 Box Office film Creed.    At the end of the 2024-25 Premier League season the ground is set to be demolished and turned into a housing estate as Everton move into their new stadium Bramley Moor Dock next season. A truly fitting venue to host TISC 2024.
