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.

First, is diving a sport?
Second, Koreans are into short track not because they are little but probably because of some cultural significane of the sport to them. Why through this definititon, would so many Janpanese women run marathons?
Three, The number of curling clubs inthe US is exploding, umlike bowling which is losing participants at high rates. It still seems very boring to me. It seems to me to be more like chess or a board .
Four, I know lots of guys my age and slightly younger who started swimming because of Mark Spitz.
Five, to argue that judges are in swimming to detect cheating is only have of the point. Judges in sport are there to maintain the rules and how the rules are followed by participants. Everytime a swimmer goes off of a block at the begining of a race, that swimmer is being judged. The judge may not appoint a value to the start dive by a judgement is being made.
Six, just how tall is janet Evans?
If I understand correctly, for an event to be in the Olympics, there must be an international federation that establishes and maintains rules and requirements for the specific sport.
