I would agree that the Olympic Winter Games jumped the shark with the inclusion of all the X-Games crap.

They probably added the Snowboard Cross thing (there's like 3 or 4 snowboarders going down a hill bouncing off of each other) to get the NASCAR and Motocross crowd ;-)

Moguls, freestyle, half-pipe? What the heck is all that? Skiing should consist of the downhill, giant slalom, and slalom. Period. The rest is inflation for broadcast purposes.
