Favorite "B-List" Olympic event

Indoor cycling

Speed skating is always watchable even without Apollo Ohno

This, wish i couldve played it growing up, looks like fun.

Easy. Bobsled.

Watching that thing fly down what is essentially a frozen waterslide is awesome. I have on my bucket list to one day go to either Lake Placid or Utah to take a ride down the track (with someone who knows what they are doing, of course).

I would always watch non-Olympic year bobsled events during the winter back when the Olympic Channel (RIP) was still a thing.

We used to play it in middle school gym class on the wrestling mats and it was a blast.

Archery, Short Track speed skating, the speed climbing event they introduced in Tokyo,

I thought the surfing format was very challenging for TV, and I understand why all previous surfing is highlight reels.

The street skateboarding format was not good imo and I hope they rework it for Paris.

Fencing is good but it’s almost impossible to tell how touched first in some of the formats.

Have you ever had an opportunity to try it? Personally I had a lot more fun trying it than watching it. Good stuff either way.

Winter Bi-athlon.

Straight bonkers event.

I came across this one for the first time last winter Olympics and could watch for hours. Cross country skiing meets rifle shoot just seems like a wild event for whoever came up with it.
