The next Olympics is sooner than you think.
Seven new events were added for 2022: men's and women's big air freestyle, women's monobob , mixed team competitions in freestyle skiing aerials, ski jumping, and snowboard cross, and a mixed relay in short track speed skating.
The mixed-gender events are one of the International Olympic Committee's ways of adding more women's events. The 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang included mixed-doubles curling and alpine team skiing, four years after the debut of mixed-gender events in biathlon, luge and figure skating. The 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo also added six new events featuring men and women competing on the same teams in swimming, track, triathlon, archery, judo and table tennis.Lisa Tolin is head of special projects for TODAY Digital.
