- No doubt people are losing their jobs

The article discusses the uncertainty surrounding the future of combined skiing (kombinert) in the Olympic Games after the International Olympic Committee (IOC) is set to announce whether the sport will remain on the program for the 2030 Winter Olympics. Norway's head of combined skiing, Ivar Stuan, expresses concern that the sport could be removed entirely, which would have serious implications for athletes, coaches, and jobs related to the discipline. The sport has been part of the Winter Olympics since 1924, but women have yet to compete in the Olympics, only participating in World Championships. Stuan warns that losing Olympic status could weaken the sport’s position and potentially lead to its exclusion from Nordic skiing World Championships in the future. Athlete Jens Lurås Oftebro, who recently won gold at the Olympics, highlights the challenges faced by the sport due to the lack of Olympic recognition. Sports commentator Esten O. Sæther argues that the sport should continue and be expanded to include women, emphasizing its traditional value and cultural significance.
