I’d rather watch 48 types of sliding than three types of jumping and twenty types of running.
It’s just running and swimming with every distance between 100m and 1 lap around the Earth
I actually prefer the winter ones too, they are more fun.
You forgot 18 kinds of swimming
And the dozens of ball sports.

Hey some of that sliding involves guns.
USA has entered the chat.
Are you implying that all sports can be made better by adding some pew pew’s? You may have a point.
I mean, if they had to hit a target going off one of those slolum jumps…
Or you could rocket jump for more hang time. Only once, though.
Once is all you need.
I don’t think pew pews are real yet. Biathalon uses bang bangs. Or maybe boom booms. Jury’s still out.
Lindsey Vonn is going to slide a very high speeds with one titanium knee and a torn ACL on the other…at 41. Absolute insanity.
And another knee injury just a few days ago. News said she was airlifted out during a practice. Wants still to go to opening ceremonies.
Yes, that’s the torn ACL I just mentioned. She’s racing with it fully torn.
I was sure she was finished when I saw she was airlifted! She’s still trying to compete?! Mad lass!
I mean, why not? It’s probably not as if she’s got some other more important future event to heal up for.
(INB4 she un-retires again for 2030.)
They absolutely should make winter versions of summer sports. Like Ice Basketball.
Diving
You mean this?
There is ice tennis too.
Too much gymnastics vs Too much ice skating. Show me skeleton, luge, and hockey!
I prefer the sports that have a more measurable outcome to the sports that rely on opinions from judges
Absolutely. Any time there are judges giving scores there can be shenanigans.
Too much ice skating.
Show me […] hockey!
Well, make up your mind!
Should’ve said figure skating but you probably just wanted to be an ass.
One has hockey, so one is objectively better.
Both have hockey
found the rare individual who actually watches the olympics
Summer has field hockey, sure, but that’s just a variant. Only one has hockey.
Field hockey?? You mean hockey? Of which ice hockey is a variant?
Arguing with a Canadian about hockey isn’t going to get either of us anywhere.
What are your thoughts on roller hockey?
Never played it. I am a big fan of floor hockey though. Used to play all the time.
Doing a backflip: enthusiastic applause
Doing a backflip on ice skates: eye-rolls, bored face, getting up to leave
The potential danger in the bobsleigh events makes it way more thrilling to watch than anything in the summer olympics.

Not only is it SNL, its the weekend update without Norm
That’s not unlike criticizing some national cuisine lol. From the surface, yeah, most of them share these several characterizing aspects to them, but you’d die several times before finding an end to a discussion concerning things like pizza.
I really thought it said Special Olympics instead of Summer
