Press releases IOC resemble commercials pi & ugrave; that in official communications by a governing body. So to understand the real scope & agrave; decisions & egrave; need to read between the lines.
Wednesday 10 June 2015 3 minutes reading time
Monday & Igrave; the International Olympic Committee announced with great fanfare the 'entry of four new events in the program of Pyeong Chang 2018, omitting to & ograve; sports and the race format that & egrave; He has been denied 'added all''evento Five circles.
& Egrave; the case of synchronized skating, but evidently also the Nordic combined team sprint.
We have to remember that among the decisions taken by the FIS Congress in 2014 there was to make two requests to the IOC regarding the Nordic combined:
1) Introduce the team sprint in the program Pyeong Chang 20182) Increase from 55 to 65 share Combiners present at the Games
Since there was no communication about the first point you can & ograve; then argue that the 'entry of the new race format has not been approved. When all is quiet on the shares of the various sports, expect about communications.
In any case, what should be a rejection throws questions about the future of this format, introduced in the program world championship in 2013.
In this regard & egrave; Interestingly, the lack of success of any new competition brought forth by FIS nell''ultimo luster (anyone remember the penalty race? & Egrave; all''istante been incinerated by technical and organizing committees). & nbsp;
Instead of & eacute; push of races of 14 minutes which gundersen with single jump and 5 km skiing, because & eacute; no return to the past with Sprint (a jump and 7.5 km) and the real gundersen (two jumps and 15 km)?
