(Somewhat Lame) Poll Results

The latest Poll idea was cool, but i forgot to include Snowboarding so (i ssume) that most votes counted in "something else" were for the omitted sport - ooops.

Beyond that, Short-track Speedskating was the popular pick with 25% of the 61 votes, followed by Ski Jumping (my vote) with 20% (12 votes), then "Something Else" (likely Snowboarding) 16% rounded out the top 3 picks.

Freestyle Skiing and the Sliding Sports (luge, bob, skeleton) tied for a strong fourth with 13% each while Longtrack Speedskating (11%) and Cross Country Skiiing (2%) rounded out the poll.

Any new sports you think should be added to future Winter Olympics?
