The team event in alpine skiing was rejected last week, but the FIS is persisting on its addition. Big air will not likely make the Olympic program unless a women's component is introduced and successful on the World Cup circuit. I assume, however, that women do something similar to big air at the X-Games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
