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..

hckošice 13,267 Posted January 8, 2018 #12 Share Posted January 8, 2018 if you want to put a cycling event to the winter games then you must add Cycle-ball too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
intoronto 4,244 Posted January 8, 2018 #13 Share Posted January 8, 2018 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.... intoronto 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
