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.

    Curling...I used to swim at a pool where there was a licensed lounge overlooking both the pool & a curling rink. After swimming we would retire to the lounge for wine and/or beer, much energy & laughter; the curlers would come up scowling & start throwing down the rye like it was going to run out.
