The Winter Games will keep their cool—literally. Despite growing buzz about shaking things up with summer sports, a new report suggests the International Olympic Committee (IOC) is sticking to its icy roots for Utah's 2034 Winter Olympics. That means no cross-country running, cyclocross, or judo joining the lineup, even as some advocates push for a broader mix of events.

The report, out of Japan ahead of this week's IOC Executive Board meeting, indicates that IOC President Kirsty Coventry and other leaders are holding firm to the Olympic Charter's rule: only sports practiced on snow or ice qualify for the Winter Games. This comes after whispers about adding summer sports to the 2030 French Alps Games as a way to ease the pressure on the ever-expanding Summer Olympics. But for now, those plans appear to be cooling off.

The idea wasn't without its champions. Sebastian Coe, an IOC member and head of World Athletics, had been a vocal supporter of bringing cross-country running—absent from the Olympics for over a century—and cyclocross, a thrilling mashup of road cycling, mountain biking, and steeplechase, into the winter fold. Last October, Coe even floated a "provisional plan" to hold both events on the same course during the 2030 Games. He argued it could give Africa a stronger presence in the Winter Games, a sentiment echoed by the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee.

"It's logical and it's the right thing to do," said Sarah Hirshland, CEO of the U.S. committee, during a recent Team USA Media Summit. But despite this momentum, the IOC seems content to keep the Winter Games as a sanctuary for snow and ice sports—at least for now. For fans of winter gear and alpine apparel, that means the 2034 Utah Games will remain a celebration of cold-weather tradition, no summer crossover required.
