The future of the parallel giant slalom in the Olympics is uncertain, as it faces potential removal from the Olympic program ahead of the 2030 Winter Olympics.
With the 2026 Milan-Cortina Winter Olympics approaching, parallel giant slalom snowboarders have taken to social media to advocate for the preservation of their event. The International Olympic Committee (IOC) is considering the removal of parallel giant slalom from the Olympic program by the 2030 Games in France. While decisions on events like biathlon, bobsledding, curling, ice hockey, luge, and skating have been made, the fate of parallel giant slalom will be determined by June. Other sports like Nordic combined skiing are also being evaluated for potential removal. After the Milan-Cortina Games, the IOC is expected to conduct a comprehensive review of various sports.
