The highlight on Scott Smith was amusing, because he suggested an event that already existed! Hasn't he heard of the 4x100 and 4x200 Individual Medley? LOSER! ;)
Heh. FWIW, I'd never heard of those races...
I'd be interested in reading how the summer games athletes think the winter games could be spiced up. Thin ice in places on the rink? Skaters having to compete outdoors with the wind chill, rather than in the weather protected stadium?
They did have to compete outdoors until the seventies...I'm pretty sure the '68 Olys had the competition outside. And thin ice would be interesting...except that it's just concrete under the ~2 inches of ice... ;)
