  They add events to the Olympics now based entirely on profit margin and marketability.

  I was going to mention the BMX biking as well.

I teach in farmville and 3 years ago my girls made it to the regionals for the first time in school history....but it's a monumental struggle to even get the necessary 5 girls (or boys) to participate each season.....whereas the only other girl sport in the fall that my school offers (volleyball) has close to 40 girls in the program every year and we only have around 90 girls 9-12.
  
  I knew nothing about it in school...but coaching it has been very rewarding. Most of those kids are tough as nails.

  I know what you were saying. I was just poking fun at CCrunner making XC out to be a mainstream sport.

  I am a hypocrite. I like mountain biking in the Olympics but not bmx short track riding.

  I have actually contributed to this thread, thanks.
  
  Did you get removed from the Browns thread? If so, good riddance.
