Winter Olympics Adds Synchro Skating and Freeride for 2030 in French Alps. Nordic Combined Dropped
- The International Olympic Committee announced on Tuesday that the French Alps Winter Games will feature Freeride and Synchronized, while dropping Nordic combined from the 2030 program.
- Nordic, a staple since the inaugural Winter Games in Chamonix in 1924, was cut because it struggled to attract a modern audience and remained the only discipline restricted to men.
- Freeride involves athletes performing tricks on natural terrain, while Synchronized will debut in 2030 using the nine-member Synchro9 format.
- The 2030 Winter Games in the French Alps will be the first to achieve gender parity, with 3,046 participants expected across 126 events.
- Synchronized debuts as a female-only event at the 2028 Youth Winter Olympics in Italy, with future decisions pending regarding male participation in the French Alps.
