While the decision on the discipline programme for French Alps 2030 is expected at the IOC EB meeting in December, the EB this week approved the postponement of the decision on two disciplines, snowboard parallel giant slalom and Nordic combined, to 2026, after the data from Milano Cortina 2026 has been evaluated.  This is from the IOC. Being lumped with NC indicates to me PGS maybe at risk OR they are evaluating adding more alpine snowboard events based on if data says so.

Cyprus about to miss a quota by 1 spot (I know she is Russian, but still)

Warner out of the decathlon, its the last title he did not win.

According to the IOC press conference today "Parallel slalom" will be evaluated post games to get data from the 2026 games for 2030 acceptance. But its not being held in 2026. So I wonder if they meant Parallel giant slalom, and if its spot on the program post 2026 is in danger?

This post aged like milk lmao

Mo Ahmed out if the 5000

Laurence Beauregard wins bronze at worlds !

Both lose their SF matches. Both will wrestle for bronze tomorrow.

The latter yes. He was a World Junior champ for Iran before switching to Canada. Coincidentally he will face Iran in the SFs. Beauregard is a mild surprise (its an non-olympic weight category)

Laurence Beauregard and Peiman Biabani into the semis at worlds!

Just insane e.

Sutherland out

Jennifer ELIZAROV with a NH in qualifying. Disappointing result for her in a break through season.
