Two Events Set to be Axed From Olympics

2nd October 2025

Snowboard Parallel Giant Slalom & Nordic Combined will be at Milan-Cortina 2026, but they may not make it to France for the 2030 Olympics.

Parallel giant slalom and Nordic combined have been “approved postponement” by the executive board.

The news from a meeting between the French Alps 2030 Organising Committee and the International Olympic Committee Executive Board.

The move follows a recommendation by the Olympic Program Commission, following a review that was launched in June 2024 done to “shape a discipline program that is balanced, youth-focused, and cost-efficient.”

The final decision will be made after data from Milan-Cortina is evaluated and taken into consideration.

Disciplines are constantly under review with new ones added, so others have to make way.

• Freeride for the Winter Olympics?
• Ski Mountaineering to be included in 2026 Winter Olympics
