This is the reason to put XC in the winter Olypmics.
I've always been against that just because I don't think any other athlete can win Winter and Summer games medals in basically the same sport.
But I sort of agree with you know. I"'m willing to get rid of the 10,000 in the summer Olympics. And put it in the Winter Olympics as xc. Then the winner of that would not only get prestige but they'd get a ton of publicity as the kind of kings or queen or queens which is the beauty of xc.
It would GREATLY elevate XC. And it would be amazing as the winter Olympics are in the year when there is not world outdoors so everyone would be focused on it.
Get rid of the 10000 in the Summmer Olympics? That's one of my favorite events. Do people on LR find it to be boring?
As far as greatly GREATLY elevating the sport, I doubt if Winter Olympic XC for running would draw anymore attention than XC skiing does.
