No more Nordic Combined at the Olympics

165

The Olympic Committee made a big choice. The sport Nordic Combined stops in the year 2030. This sport started in the year 1924. That was the start of the Winter Games. Now this long time ends after 100 years. The Winter Games happen in the Alps in France. Nobody gets medals in this sport there.

There are many reasons for this end. The committee checked the number of viewers. People like this sport the least. Also, few people look at it online. Another problem is the number of countries. Very few countries win medals. At the last 4 games, only 5 countries won. The committee wants sports with many countries competing.

Only men did this sport until now. Women fought for their right to join. They wanted to join in the year 2030. But now the men must also stop. Other sports stay in the program. Alpine snowboarding stays in the year 2030. Some new sports join the games. Examples are mountain skiing and group figure skating.
