Nordic combined skiing has been excluded from the 2030 Winter Olympics in the French Alps, as confirmed by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) on July 7, 2026. This decision comes after Nordic combined has been a feature at every Winter Games since its introduction in 1924. The IOC cited small television audiences and a limited number of participating nations as factors in the decision. Meanwhile, other sports like freeride skiing and snowboarding will debut at the event. The IOC previously stated that ski mountaineering would return following its successful debut earlier this year.
