The Olympic Committee makes a hard choice. Nordic Combined stops in the year 2030. It is not part of the Winter Games in France. Nordic Combined is a sport. The sport combines ski jumping and cross country skiing. It was part of the Olympics for 100 years.
The Committee says people show little interest. Many fans find the sport boring. Also only few countries win medals. This is bad for the athletes. They lose their main goal. Women also hoped to join the Olympics.
The decision hurts the money for the sport. The state gives less money. Many sponsors leave too. The state Salzburg wants to help their athletes. Building new ramps for ski jumping becomes hard. The sport hopes for a return in 2034.
