Last sentence first; not to get into too fine of details, but then you’d have to have some cross country events at Whistler too for Nordic combined events which have cc and jumps on the same day.
And in general, it’s well and good that the IOC is saying what it can to keep Calgary on the line, but you wonder by making vague promises of cutting costly particular sports to the cities themselves, if they’re going to win that battle with those particular federations when push comes to shove, and not suffer further repercussions.
