Veedrock- posted... This is extremely arbitrary, and to what end, so they don't brand themselves as Winter? It still has to be a separate event in a cold climate (good luck selling that to your indoor athletes), and based on the rest of your comment you'll still look at it as lesser for not being attached to the Summer event.

Again, I disagree. More details below!

If they did include those sports, others would complain those events have nothing to do with winter.

Also, Im not sure the inclusion of snow or ice is weirdly specific when it comes to winter.

And this is exactly my point!
While there's a few sports in The Olympics that are clearly summer-related, like baseball, swimming, and beach volleyball, those do not define the games. What the hell does wrestling, or table tennis, or (indoor) trampoline, or karate have to do specifically with summer? Nothing, and that's the whole point. It's not just some gimmick, it's an actual broad event representing all kinds of sports from across the world, and includes the legacy of the original Olympic sports.

You can't imagine the "winter games" as anything other than being winter-related w/ snow and ice. That's why I'm saying it's a gimmick.
