The Norwegian Combination has always been present at the Olympics. It was played for the first time in 1924. Until 1984, it was awarded one set of medals. Now, for the Salt Lake City (2002) Olympics, you have won a medal in two events. Currently, there are three competitions. All among men.
Enjoy, Norwegian women have been developing intensively in recent years, so that there is no chance of joining the Olympic family. This will be the creation of my colleagues, the IOC itself, which will be a common cause for the problem. While in Milan in 2026 gentlemen will still fight for the IO medal, in 2030 it is no longer certain.
Why? All because of the IOC requirements for the disciplines of the Winter Olympics. Both women and men are to start there, and sport is already happening among fans. The Norwegian Combination does not meet these conditions and may disappear from the Olympic Games program. It would also be a doom for this winter sports discipline.

– I think this is a signal to enter the sport at the Olympics. If in the year 30 the women were not dropped, lest the IOC gave up until a return to defensive time, said Ericzel, three times off work quoted by sueddeutsche.de.
The IOC did not agree to bring about a return to competition, because athletes from ten countries are competing in the competition. “Apart from Europe, nobody plays the sport,” said IOC Karl Stwos.
The authorities set up, prescribe, manage, jump, they want to do everything by promoting a discipline, a discipline based on the formation and direction of skiing. The future of the popular sport, however, hangs in the balance.
Let us add that the most Olympic medals were won by the Norwegians in the following years (35: 15 gold, 12 silver and 8 bronze). The leaders are also Germany, Finns and Austrians. Overall, in the history of the Games, medals were won by athletes from eleven countries, including Poland. In 1956, in Cortina d’mpezzo, on each podium of the Franciszek Groń-Gąsienica company.
