The women’s Nordic combined was not promoted to the 2026 Games and the thirty-something Sieff thus tries in the jump, already in the five-hoops program. Gianmoena, on the other hand, does not change
What you don’t do for an Olympics, moreover just in case: an occasion that happens only once in a lifetime. It makes you change sports. The choice is that of Annika Sieff, nineteen years old from thirty, the strongest blue Nordic combined skier with 5 podiums in the World Cup, who appears in the list of the women’s jumping team with Jessica and Lara Malsiner and no longer in the Nordic combined one, where only Veronica Gianmoena remained in team A. This solution became official with the announcement of the Nordic teams’ squads for next season. Seiff nurtured the dream of qualifying for the Nordic combined, which she opened up to women a few years ago, but the discipline was not promoted at the Games for the women’s sector and therefore there will be no Milan-Cortina until 2026.

Are there still too few women? it seemed so for women’s jumping too, which since 2014 has broken the gap for women. It will happen sooner or later, in 2030 or 2034 also to the combined skiers. Meanwhile Seiff, who was already jumping well, joins the pink team of the special jump. And you will be able to train in Predazzo when you are ready to crown your success anyway. Her jump will be Olympic.
