First of all, the combined will disappear from the 2020-2021 season. The FIS has announced on its official website that the parallel slalom will enter the World Cup program from 2021, ie the edition hosted by Cortina d'Ampezzo, without specifying that the combined will no longer be part of it.
But all this is understood by looking at the long-term calendar of the next World Cup events: there are two male and two female combinations in 2019-2020 and then that's enough. Since we can not dispute a world competition of a specialty that has never been disputed in the current season, it is clear that the combined will die (definitely?) Between two winters. Conversely, the parallels will increase exponentially in the World Cup, both individual and team.
Finally, the new federal council has decided to decrease the maximum quota of participants available to the nations in each specialty regarding the men's World Cup, which is currently 8 athletes and will fall to 7.
