Skeleton

Snowboard halfpipe
There's ski-kabobs, ski creole, ski gumbo. Pan-skied, deep-skied, stir-skied. There's pineapple ski, lemon ski, coconut ski, pepper ski, ski soup, ski stew, ski salad, ski and potatoes, ski burger, ski sandwich. That... that's about it.
Allow me to share my proposal to improve the Winter Olympics: add popular winter sports such as wrestling, gymnastics and basketball. Basically anything that is played indoors is wasted on the Summer Olympics and would vastly improve the Winter Olympics.
Gotta respect the guy that looked at luge, and said “what if we do this, but headfirst so it’s infinitely more dangerous.” They even gave it a nice, innocent-sounding name: skeleton.
What is hockey but skiing with sharp skis and different stick
Fancy ice skating and heated rivalry ice skating also included
