Winter Olympics as a game of chance

I love watching most sports and have enjoyed the Winter Olympics. I wonder if I am the only one disturbed however by how important chance seems to be in many winter events. I am particularly thinking about short track skating and snowboard cross. The Olympics should be about being the best,not the luckiest.

    My husband has the same opinion about the Olympics. He says it is not a "sport" unless the winner beats the clock or scores more points, etc. He says the events that are judged and given scores aren't "sports." I disagree with him, but his opinion is interesting. I like to watch all competition, no matter how the winner is determined.
