Now it is dell''unico of 43 Olympic sports (whether summer or winter) to not have races of both sexes, but only competitions reserved for men. True that the synchronized swimming lives the contrary situation, assigns exclusively female medals, but the IOC identifies it as an internal discipline to water sports and not as a sport s & eacute; because as in the case of the Nordic combined. Quite simply the prerogative of the Nordic combined dell''esistenza & egrave; represented by the presence of both the cross-country skiing, both of ski jumping. Quest''ultimo & egrave; was opened to women only tains twenty-first century and, after the 'essential growth period, has achieved full equality & agrave; than men through three basic stages: the 'inclusion in the program of the World (2009), the birth of a World Cup circuit (2011) and the fateful entry into the Olympic Games (2014). Now the FIS wants to take the same path even with the combined. Nell''immediato future will come & agrave; created a Youth Cup, which is a circuit reserved to young who should represent the first generation to play with them in the absolute level competitions. The race director Lasse Ottesen, has declared that the 'objective & egrave; to enter the women's Nordic combined in the 2019 Junior World Cup program, the Youth Olympic Games of 2020 and especially the Nordic World Ski Championships 2021. The Norwegian said to be conscious that these are ambitious targets, but to consider them viable. Obviously, the next steps would be the creation of a World Cup circuit and the 'entry in the Olympic Games. In the first case we will have & agrave; probably wait at least until 2022, while for the demonstration in Five circles the first appointment useful potr & agrave; be in 2026. It stands a spontaneous reflection. The female jumping maintains a number of practitioners rather contained and, after a progressive growth, nell''ultimo two years has suffered a regression. Not surprisingly you & egrave; very far from achieving the 'effective equality & agrave; with the male sector, both in terms of technical content that especially below public. There remain doubts sull''opportunit & agrave; to subtract future athletes to jump, making pi & ugrave; difficult to grow, with obvious difficulty & agrave; establish itself in the media in the years to come, but the FIS does not seem to care too much. For the International Federation now has only set up a circuit. The quality & agrave; and the following are secondary. Paradoxically women Nordic combined, in this respect, may have more & ugrave life; easy, since & eacute; the comparison with the men's circuit will appear & agrave; now less merciless.
