Nordic Combined, Lone Winter Games Sport without sexual shares, facing a fragile Olympic future

Nordic Combined has a rich history in the Olympic Games and perhaps a dark future.

Since the first winter games in 1924, the unique sport has tested the courage of athletes in jumping and skiing across the country.

A year from now, it may be a previous Olympic sport.

“This is a great concern or a major issue we are talking about,” Gyingin Japak of Norway said in an interview with Associated Press.

Nordic Combined is scheduled to conclude the competition at the Milan Cortina Olympics on February 19, 2026, and this may be a conclusion on the world stage.

The International Olympic Committee will call in June, when it decides the events that will be part of its program in the French ALPS games for the year 2030.

This sport may not make at least reduce to end talks about gender inequality during an era when women in sport disappeared all over the world.

Nordic Combined is the only winter Olympic sport that excludes sex, giving men an opportunity to go to gold while women fall into viewing. The International Small Ski Union and Ski Skipping plans to apply for North Women Combated to become an Olympic sport, but not even the summer of 2026.

IOC is proud to say that 2026 winter games will be the most balanced gender, and they are praising the fact that 47 percent of athletes will be female.

Fis aims to increase the clarity of the north

While the ruling body can decide to give women an opportunity for Olympic gold in the north, it can choose to eliminate sport from the program five years ago.

Fis, national government agencies, athletes, trainers and preachers do their power to save sport at the Olympic level. The number of participating skiers has increased along with attempts to enhance their clarity with Docuseries ConvergenceAnd the greatest presence on social media.

The French skiing union may also give this sport a lifeline.

Although the ruling body in France will not call for bullets, it is cooperating with FIS for public and private relations for women in the north combined to obtain the first opportunity to compete for Olympic gold in 2030.

Pierre Megoniri, coach coach of the French Union, told AP: “Women in the commercial north develop little by little around the world, and it is only logical that women are able to join the Olympic Program as well,” Pierre Megoniri, the coach of the French Small Union, told AP. “But we are not decision makers.”

Jarl Magnus RIIBER, the World Cup champion for five times in the first place, is ranked first, will consider the International Olympic Committee on how to cut sports also affects two other specialties.

“Getting rid of Nordic Combined will destroy skiing slightly jumping and across the country as well,” said 27 -year -old Norwegian, who plans to retire after the season due to the digestive state. “This is very important for the stability of our system.

“It is a very easy option for them for a quick reform, but I think it is in the future, it is best to keep it in winter games.”

Three years ago, Nordic barely survived as an Olympic sport.

Unfortunately, the Executive Council of the International Olympic Committee expressed its regret that it had no strong international representation outside Europe. During the previous three winter games, only four countries won 27 medals available and sports have the smallest audience during those Olympic games.

46 women with World Cup points

Since then, Fis IOC has made progress reports every six months and met annually.

The females who leave a high perch with a 40 -storey building and fly without fear along an American football field and then compete for skis across the country, also in turn to preserve the Olympic dreams alive.

There are 46 women with the World Cup, and entered the world championships that start on Thursday in Norway, after 30 females in a season for the first time four years ago.

Sigrs from Germany, Japan and Norway in the first three places in the World Cup ranking, and eight countries are represented among the 12 best countries.

The United States, which was rescued by Nordic Combined in the past fall after it lost funding, has two women at the best 15: Alexa Brabec and Annika Malacinski.

Brabec ranked fourth in Austria earlier this month to get the best end by an American woman since Tara Giragti Pot won the first World Cup for Women in 2020.

Unfortunately, Geragiti left the metals of sports to follow the Olympic dreams in Bioon.

Brabak, 20, though, hoping to get a bullet for jumping and skiing on Olympic gold in France five years ago.

“It will be a real shame to remove us,” she told AP. “I have heard that the French really want us. It is exciting and encouraging that there are people who believe in women in our sport.”
