The International Olympic Committee (IOC) added freeride skiing and snowboarding events, as well as synchronised skating, to the programme for the 2030 Winter Olympics, while dropping Nordic combined. The Games, due to be held in and around the French Alps, will also be the first Winter Olympics to achieve gender parity.
