2026 Winter Olympics Milano-Cortina

Ffs. Axe the shitty ice dancing.

Is the correct answer…makes dressage look interesting

It's entertainment but it's not sport. Far too subjective. That said the judging is easier to understand now than the last time I remember watching it around 40 gears ago.

I've watched it a fair bit over the years, but still can't distinguish between an axel, a lutz and a salchow.

The Winter games look like they'd be great fun to attend. The outdoor crowds always look like they've been out for a winter stroll, and decided to stand and watch some of this Olympics lark for a while.

but if you get rid of the subjective events in the winter olympics there's not enough left for it to be the same event. Downhill, cross country, speed skating, curling, sliding events and ice hockey (6 sports) are all that's left and that'd be boring as fuck. It's be like cutting down the summer olympics to be just the track and field and velodrome events, still decent but not the international celebration of summer sports it has been more a generation.

I'm more willing the accept a split for the summer olympics because you'd be taking away enough to have a whole new event whilst leaving behind more than enough to still have plenty of things for people to watch and work towards.

I don't think they should be canned at all, but I struggle to be enthused by them. I still watch things like the snowboarders spinning around loads because that is cool 😎.
