Let's face it - the cross country skiing are about as exciting to watch as home videos of your little sister's birthday party. From snowball fights to skier cross, Kidzworld looks at sports we'd like to see at the Winter Olympics.
New Winter Olympic Sports - Snowball Fighting 6e6a2j
If you've ever been around snow, you can appreciate the satisfaction of nailing someone with a well made snowball. Could snowball fighting make it as Olympic sport? Probably not anytime soon - but the sport is growing. Around 200 teams now compete in capture the flag.
New Winter Olympic Sports - Skiercross 414i3l
It's maybe the most chaotic and exciting sport on snow. Skiercross, like its snowboarding counterpart, involves four skiers racing each other on a windy course filled with jumps, banked corners and tight turns. It's a great spectator sport because the races are fast and there are tons of wipeouts as skiers try to maneuver through turns and each other in mid-air. Winter Olympics for the first time in 2006 - hopefully skiercross won't be far behind.
New Winter Olympic Sports - Ice Climbing 356w
Ice climbing is growing as a recreation sport - but it could also work as a competive event at the Winter Olympics. Climbers race each other in a timed race up a wall of ice, using ice axes, crampons and other high adrenaline sport would be a good fit for the Winter Games.
New Winter Olympic Sports - Slopestyle Snowboarding 4a4r5h
The Winter Olympics could always use more snowboarding events, so bring on a slopestyle competition. Seeing the TV and showcase the athleticism required for slopestyle boarding.
New Winter Olympic Sports - Snowshoeing 516uw
