Cross country skiing meets rifle shoot just seems like a wild event for whoever came up with it.

Has military relevance in the Nordic countries.

Curling
This is pretty fascinating. Makes it even more interesting: Why do all Olympic curling stones come from a small Scottish island?





Did you know: "During Olympic competition, one set of stones has red handles and the other has yellow handles. The stones are embedded with batteries that power heat sensors in the ice. If a player continues to hold onto the handle while breaching the line, the lights will turn red and the team will be forced to remove it from play."

Triathlon. The Olympic distance is a “short” course for these athletes and they go the whole way (32 miles in total) like it is a sprint. They are absolutely hauling and just don’t care about how much they suffer.

My niece won gold at the pan am games in Argentina a few years ago. It’s not just for show either. She deer hunts and ONLY hunts with a bow.

Watching Asians play ping pong and badminton is pretty crazy because it's just completely different than what we did growing up.

None of these are B List events outside of maybe wrestling but that’s because NBC only shows sissy sports and then track and field.
