Change in sight in the alpine skiing landscape. The International Ski Federation (FIS) would be tempted to remove one of its events, the super combined, from the program and replace it with the discipline of parallel slalom. Nothing is official yet, but the first version of the 2019-2020 Alpine Ski World Cup does not include the slightest super combined. The final calendar for the season should be finalized next October. According to Austrian media, the super combined could also disappear from the World Championships program after the 2019 edition. Present at the Worlds and the PyeongChang 2018 Games, parallel slalom seems set to become a more permanent part of the World Cup.
