The Winter Olympic Events I Want to See

I don’t have Olympic fever because I’m not that interested in the headline events. My tastes are a bit quirkier.

I hate ice skating. The downhill events are boring, except for the crashes. The snowboard halfpipe is fun, but I can’t tell when one person is doing better than the other.

These are the events I want to see:
