The race director Lasse Ottesen presented a paper in which they were put on paper the development of the discipline time, which is still at the embryonic stage. At the moment, in fact, it is held only races at youth level. The first step will happen & agrave; in the 2018 season - '' 19, when sar & agrave; established a Continental Cup circuit and combinatiste will compete at the Junior World Championships. The next stage aims to be the 'entry into the program of the Youth Olympic Winter Games in Lausanne in 2020. The 'Winter 2020 -' '21 should keep the Women's World Cup in baptism and the pink version of the combined might become part of the schedule World Championships in Oberstdorf. Finally we want to reach the 'ultimate objective, namely the achievement of the status of an Olympic sport, gi & agrave; at Beijing 2022. The program & egrave; very ambitious, especially as regards the presence in the XXIV edition of the Olympic Winter Games. Given the time frame, the IOC should approve the gi & agrave 'input; in 2019, or almost as a box & eacute; closed. Unless it points to be a demonstration sport, waiting for a real admission in '' & eacute; lite Five circles starting from 2026. It should not forget as the International Olympic Committee has rejected the 'entry of female jumping in Vancouver in 2010 despite its development process was started (in proportion) in advance with respect to that of the combined. We will see what will be the developments. Certainly c '' & egrave; the Nordic combined & egrave; when the 'only winter Olympic sport not to have a female sector, and that the FIS wants to bridge the gap the most & ugrave; quickly as possible.
