After they dump figure skating from the Olympics, what should they replace it with?
Seriously, guys, they should have a two-part Olympics. Bring all the figure skaters in and let them figure skate. After that's done, have the Parade of Nations (if they do it right after the International Figure Skating Championship the skaters can march too) and run the rest of the events.

And I propose that the sport to replace figure skating in the body of the games should be Ice Racing. In this event you race motorcycles WITH studded tires, but WITHOUT brakes, on an oval course. A good time is guaranteed to all.

2. Timed delivery of organic meals to the rural housebound elderly via snowshoes.
Anything else will be too dangerous/subjective/frivolous/unsustainable for somebody.

It gets cold out there on the ice. There will be shrinkage.

12. Roller Derby on Ice.
It would be perfect - you could have it at the short-track speed-skating venue.

17. I LIKE it!
Hold the event on a football field or rugby pitch. Play for 30 minutes. If one team forces the other team off the field it wins;otherwise have the crowd decide the winner.
