What is cyclo cross?

 

 

It's a cycling event, it's so entertaining and the muddy/rainy/snowy races are, by far, the best ones.

 

But it doesn't have so much appeal outside of Europe..

if you want to put a cycling event to the winter games then you must add Cycle-ball too

[intoronto 6,891]

Mono-bob would encourage other countries to compete, and also would reduce costs for countries that struggle to field 2 or 4 men squads.

 

Also I thought for some reason cyclo cross was another term for ice cross (red bull crashed ice), this has to be on lol.

 

so add two to my total. 148 in 19 sports.

Yeah, that's why I said it. In our country's case (Spain), we had a guy in mono-bob in YOG's but now he has nothing to do as there's no more Spaniards in this sport to compete with....

Or outside Belgium (and a little bit the Netherlands) even, to be honest

No way, sports at the Winter Olympics should at least potentially be held on snowy/icy conditions, otherwise we might just as well add basketball, handball and water polo as well because indoor

Although then for monobob I'd say there should be the same kind of criteria as for women's Nordic combined: first a good number of years with full World Cup competition so it's not still a new event/sport when added to the Olympics.

That would be so disappointing 

 

In my opinion, 50km classic mass start is the single 'highlight event' of the winter sports calendar
