The IOC has confirmed that disciplines like trail running, cross-country running, cyclocross, and gravel cycling will not be added to the 2030 Winter Games in the French Alps, but stopped short of closing the door permanently on so-called “crossover” sports at future Winter Games. ❄️ 🏔️
IOC president Kirsty Coventry was clear about 2030 and said “no summer sport and no all-season sport will be included. It will only be snow and ice.”
However, Coventry suggested the 2034 Salt Lake City Games could potentially open the door to innovative non-traditional disciplines and added that the IOC needs to “figure out how we want potentially new sports, innovative sports and disciplines to come onto the programme.”
