20 June 2023 at 19:51 The IOC adopted a number of changes to the Olympic exercises In the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan Cortina, there will be several changes to the exercise program from the previous Olympic Games. It was decided at a board meeting of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) on Tuesday, following a recommendation from the International Ski and Snowboard Federation (FIS). The changes are as follows: – The alpine super combined is changed from an individual competition to a team competition with two athletes of the same sex. One athlete runs the downhill part of the competition, while the other runs the slalom part. – The team competition in combined for men (large hill + 4×5 kilometers) is changed to team sprint (large hill + 2×7.5 kilometers). – The team competition in jumping for men is changed from four athletes to two non-athletes. The competition will have three rounds. – In cross-country skiing, the distances are the same for each gender. This means 10 kilometres, 20 kilometers joint start with ski change, 50 kilometers and 4×7.5 kilometres, in addition to sprints and team sprints. – It is perfect, and in accordance with the setting from the FIS’ jumping committee, writes jumping manager Clas Brede Bråthen in an SMS about the changes. – Of course I do not agree, but it is not possible to maintain teams when they revise the quotas on the number of athletes, writes combined manager Ivar Stuan. The combined quotas have been reduced from 55 athletes in 2022 to 36 athletes in 2026.
