Part of the reason I don’t care that much for the Winter Olympics anymore.

Too many events are based on judging. I just want events where the results are objective, who is the fastest or whatever, without dealing with “style points.”

I'm happy to see that you used the word "event" as opposed to "sport." Don't get me wrong: While figure skaters, gymnasts, divers, ski jumpers, etc., are no doubt highly skilled, world class athletes, not all athletic events are sports.
