Sure. So while we're at it, let's add medals for the top 3 defencemen, best forwards and best goaltenders at ice hockey, add in a couple of additional moguls events (say, three jumps instead of two and another mogul event that's just moguls and has no jumps, and then another one with rails instead of jumps), add in a second halfpipe competition where the only difference is the halfpipe is twice as long, add in another discipline where you have to do a halfpipe run followed by a slopestyle run, etc etc etc. It's not like other countries can't compete with Canada and the USA!
Different lengths of the same sport shouldn't really have separate medals. If you want to include different versions of the same thing, feel free, but the overall combined winner gets the gold, not the winner of each one. I feel much the same about the summer events.
