What are everybody's dream events for the winter and summer olympics?
Winter: "Ski jousting." Two skiers come down opposite slopes and joust in the middle.
Summer: Dog showing.

Ice skate marathon
Avalanche Avoidance: Skiers get a head start going down a mountain, then an avalanche is triggered via controlled explosives. Bonus points for fancy jumps and tricks while outracing the oncoming snow rushing towards them. Skiers wear GPS devices for quick rescue, but of course, no guarantees.
Speedskate Derby: Kind of like a roller derby on ice. Athletes are encouraged to ram into each other at full speed to send each other into the padded walls. No DQ for being knocked out; you simply have to get up and try to make up lost distance, however you don't have to wait to catch up to the same lap as everyone else to get revenge on the skater that rammed you into the wall. You can get up and hit him back while you are still a lap behind. Distance of event should be at least 10km to help develop growing animosities and rage between battling competitors.
speed skating steeplechase with jumps and polar bears
White nordic skiers going through the icy streets of Riverdale/Chicago wearing rolex watches.
Extreme ice skating
Tauntaun racing.
Men's and women's icemaking.
For summer: hair styling
They need to trim some of these events. How many freestyle ski snowboard events do they need? My dream is the Olympics go back to core events.
If not, bring back ski ballet. Cheesy fun. An actual medal event too:
Cross Country Skating. This would only work where extensive distance worth of river/canal have frozen over. I like the skate steeple chase. Mass start, sounds rad.
Remember kids
Head to head > Individually timed > Judged.
Mass Start XC ski
Short Track Speed Skating
Snowboard/Ski Cross
These are my current favorites.

This seems so logical. Maybe that's why they don't do it.
