The problem kids that the other sports don’t carry the same marketing heft. Figure skating maybe comes closest but even there, you are dealing with a tiny number of athletes who are not breaking up their normal season. To sports like that or curling, or skiing, this is just a tournament they have to fit into their schedule.
