Snow volleyball

Ice climbing @Olympian1010

 

Crashed ice (similar to bmx)

 

Ice Climbing’s problem would likely be the number of competitive nations, which would likely increase with Olympic inclusion. I don’t see the sport be added anytime soon, but maybe 2030 depending on the host. 
 

I also think Ice Cross Downhill would be a fun inclusion, but it runs into similar problems. It could be a good candidate for inclusion if Canada or United States host in 2030.

 

I’d also put forth Ski Mountaineering and Ski Orienteering for eventual inclusion.

A few of them actually.

 

Athletics: Cross Country Running (men’s and women’s individual and team races along with a mixed relay)

 

Climbing: Ice Climbing

 

Cycling: Cyclocross


Volleyball: Snow Volleyball

 

My big pitch for XCR and Snow Volleyball is that they would make the Winter Olympics a truly global event since you would have athletes from South America and Africa vying for medals. XCR and Cyclocross are also just better fits for the winter games than the summer games.

The problem with that is they don’t qualify as winter sports according to the definition set in the Olympic Charter. Neither require snow or ice exclusively for the sport/discipline to take place.

 

I agree they’d help universality, but the Winter Olympics are also about giving sports that require seasonal conditions an equal opportunity to feature as an Olympic sport.

None. All potentially fun additions are barely competitive at all, globally speaking.
