Not trying to down play the x-game sports, but they really do not have the same competitive levels as more established sports.

Actually, the newest sports, women's hockey aside, are some of the most competitive in the games.
As an example, this is the fourth time snowboarding has been a sport in the Olympics. In these four Olympics, 12 different nations have won medals; five nations have won gold.
