The executive board (EB) of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) has announced that it is “looking favourably” at the inclusion of several new events, including women’s ski jumping and a figure skating team event, at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi.
Before taking a final decision, the EB said it would like to consider the outcome of the respective World Championships which will take place during the winter season in 2011.
The EB has empowered the IOC president to take the final decision on its behalf.
The other events that look set for inclusion are ski halfpipe (men and women), ski slopestyle (men and women), snowboard slopestyle (men and women), biathlon mixed team relay, and luge team relay.
The IOC Olympic programme commission analysed all the requests put forward by the international sports federations based on established criteria, and submitted its findings to the EB.
