Vancouver Ready To Welcome More Weird-Ass Olympic Events
This image was lost some time after publication, but you can still view it [object Object] . We had a crazy dream last night. The IOC was making up Winter Olympic sports, and approving them in their meeting in Kuwait City. Yeah we know, off the wall. But ... huh? You're kidding. Skicross?
The International Olympic Committee on Tuesday rejected the inclusion of women's ski jumping and several other disciplines for the 2010 Winter Olympics, but skicross, a rough-and-tumble event similar to snowboard cross, was accepted by the IOC executive board on the opening day of its two-day meeting in Kuwait.
Skicross, basically, is this: groups of skiers race each other to the bottom of a course, while people throw obstacles in their paths such as wood, trash cans and live animals. An that's not even the freestyle portion.
Bin Laden will never rest until skicross is out of the Middle East.
