It's that time of year again when everybody's second favorite Olympics goes down.

Have you ever noticed how every sport in the Winter Olympics is just a different version of sliding on ice, snow, basically cold water? Which made me think there had to be better Sports you can do in the cold that doesn't involve who can move the best on ice water.

Inspired by more traditional sports, like the shot put or the hammer throw, the snowball hurl is challenging and requires physical strength and bullseye precision.

A real cross-over sport that appeals to the ice hockey fans, puck heads, and the field hockey fans, college girls, to create one hell of a dynamic non-ice-based cold weather competition.


SNOWBALL WHATEVER THE HELL THIS IS

Officially called "pin the stick on the snowball," its popularity is surging among... these four people.

I'm pretty sure just having one of these events would increase the Winter Olympic viewership by 9,000%, but who knows maybe they'll  ALL make it someday!
