It became clear when the International Olympic Committee (IOC) presented the program committee’s recommendation on Friday evening.
The women’s jumpers hit a big hill in the WC program for the first time in 2021 in Oberstdorf. Then Maren Lundby screamed and won. She is happy with the change.
– It’s very good. We are now, so to speak, on par when it comes to tournament competition programs (there is no competition between teams), but in any case this was a very important decision, Lundby wrote in an SMS to NTB.
Big hill is my preference if I were to choose, she adds.
The Beijing Winter Olympics were held without a major women’s hill race.
– We can hope for 2026, but it is a little strange that we are not there yet, Lundby said after the World Cup gold in Oberstdorf.
A total of eight new exercises have been added to the Olympic program.
The 2026 Winter Olympics will be held in Milan and Cortina d’Ampezzo.
