Most of the winter Olympics aren't sports. Curling is a competition - no atleticism required. Figure skating, ski freestyle, and any of the other "sports" that are judged are not sports but rather athletic demonstrations. Ski jumping has even left the sport world and gone to demonstrations because they now incorporate judges.

There must be athleticism involved and no subjective scoring to be a sport.

Uhh, it's called the Olympic GAMES. Nobody's saying you have to run a 4.4 40 to do it!

0The real question is how is US hockey going to do once they start playing some real competition. I was on my mission in 02 when Canada beat the US. I was with a canadian companion and our mission president let us go over to a members house and watch the game on p-day. This was the olympics where Wayne Gretzky dropped a couple of bombs while cheering on canada.

The US team gave a great first answer Sunday night! Excellent game, looking forward to more.
