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.

I noticed the difference between the treastment of Sasha Cohen silver medalist in figure skating than swimmers. She has been able to appeared on talk shows like Leno and Regis and Kelly when they were recently in La,Jimmy Kimmel, and Ellen. Now, I have been aware of who she was for sometime and she has two world silver medals but when it was silver medal in the olympics, some appearances on national TV. A swimmer has to win a gold medal in the oympics to do this. Figure Skating is watch more by the general public also because of the ice shows which are entertaining.
