What's skicross?
Skicross, a rough-and-tumble event similar to snowboard cross, was accepted by the International Olympic Committee executive board on the opening day of its two-day meeting in Kuwait.(Cuz nothing says Winter Olympics like Kuwait.) Skicross involves groups of skiers racing each other to the bottom of a course with jumps, rollers, banks and other man-made and natural terrain features. The competition is part of the International Ski Federation's World Cup freestyle circuit, which also includes the Olympic events of aerials and moguls.
Hey, that actually sounds like it could be fun!
We're already envisioning a drunken Bode Miller careening down the mountainside, taking out his opponents with hip checks, and cross body blocks. Then the whole thing ends with Miller on the podium receiving his gold medal, with the Star-Spangled Banner playing in the background.
"Congratulations on your medal Bode!"
"My what now?"
"You just won the skicross here at the Vancouver Olympics."
(sips beer)
"Huh? I did what now? Where the hell am I?"
Oh Bode, you're so crazy! And drunk. Very very drunk.
Probably high too.
