Seven new events will be included in the program for the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing, the International Olympic Committee said Wednesday.
The seven are freestyle skiing big air for men and women, monobob for women and four mixed team formats -- a short-track relay, a ski jumping event, freestyle skiing aerials and a snowboard cross event.
"The addition of these new events for Beijing 2022 reflects our continued commitment to make the Olympic Games programs more youthful and gender balanced," IOC Sports Director Kit McConnell said.
