Skiing events are super varied. Nordic events are an ultimate test of fitness...contention is limited to nordic countries, but that's not much different than Kenyans dominating distance running and Jamaicans dominating sprinting. Biathlon is simply friggin awesome. We need more summer events that include shooting at near peak heart rate.
Alpine events are beyond reproach. Downhills are just ####ing nuts and under appreciated as feat of human's capacity for impressive levels of controlled stupidity.
Ski and snowboard cross are dope. Moguls are dope. Downhill snowboarding is kinda lame.
Halfpipe is a bit lame at this point, but it's fine. The other freestyle events are about as good as judged events can be. Aerials is basically the same as diving.
Ski jumping is pretty cool. Probably too many disciplines within it (I can't be bothered to understand) but who gives a ####. Those dicks aren't going to inject themselves.
