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.

The man who wrote htis article is an idiot. All sport is based on human judgement, we simply don't always see the judging. I'm sure we all know coaches who at one time told some one that they didn't have the talent needed to pursue a particular sport.
I pertsonally think that curling is one ofhte two most boring sports ever invented by man. However, it is one of the fastest growing competitions right now.
