Apparently triathlons only take place during the Olympics.  thanks Mike...  Yahoo! has yet to add many sports to the list.  Skate/Snow boarding, Tri's, running.  None of these seem to have made.  But curling and snookering seem to have a large fan base.  Come on Yahoo! guys, think!!!!

Cross-country skiing was a major event at the first Winter Olympics, held at Chamonix, France, in 1924. Only men were eligible to participate, however, and the only events were 18km and 50km races. In 1936, a 4x10km mixed relay (2 classical and 2 freestyle legs) was added. Women finally appeared on the scene at the 1952 Winter Games in Oslo, in a 10km classical race.

Winter Olympics -- Skeleton ... I'm just amazed how they can fly down the track head first like that. Childhood sledding to the Nth degree.\n\nSummer Olympics -- Water Polo.\n\nNot that either sport is my favorite sport to watch that is part of the Olympics, but you can watch hockey and even skiiing and figure skating all the time and the same for swimming, basketball, baseball and even track and field. But other than when the Olympics are on can you see either skelton or water polo televised?
