Overview
- The International Olympic Committee voted to re‑inscribe ski‑alpinisme for Alpes 2030 and to introduce the 'individuelle' event, a change ratified by the full IOC session on Thursday, June 25.
- The sprint and mixed relay formats that debuted at Milan‑Cortina in February 2026 will be retained, giving the sport a three‑event programme for 2030.
- Organisers have proposed Montgenèvre in the Briançonnais as the venue and put forward a 72‑athlete quota for ski‑alpinisme, though final quotas still need IOC approval.
- The decision follows advocacy from athletes and organisers, including Emily Harrop and Cojop president Edgar Grospiron, who argued the individual race better reflects alpine tradition and will broaden the sport’s appeal.
- The broader Alpes 2030 programme and remaining event decisions — such as the future of Nordic combined and possible additions like freeride — are scheduled for review and finalisation by IOC bodies and Cojop later this summer.
