Nordic Combined Exits 2030 Winter Games as IOC Adds Freeride and Synchronised Skating
TL;DR Summary
The IOC announced Nordic Combined will be dropped from the 2030 Winter Olympics due to a limited number of competitors and waning public interest, with a possible return in 2034. Freeride skiing and snowboarding are added for the first time, and synchro9 (synchronised figure skating) debuts, while the Games in the French Alps will be 50% female with 3,046 athletes across 126 events; female participation rises as four sports—luge, skiing, bobsleigh, and ice hockey—increase quotas by up to seven percent.
