Favorite Olympic Sport

For some reason i thought that there were way more Winter Olympic sports then just 15. I noticed this a month or so ago when the Winter Olympics were going on. And the Summer Olympics only has 31?? I thought they had at least 60.

So here are my favorite and least favorite Olympic Sports

Winter
Favorite =
Biathlon (cross-country skiing and target shooting) cause there's not a whole lot of sports cooler then skiing with a gun on your back
Least Favorite = I would say Snowboard Cross, but i'm still not convinced that it's a real sport. It's some X-Games reject. No, my least favorite is Short Track Speed Skating. Long Track Speed Skating is cool. Short track is pushing and cutting in front of people and the team relay event is just insane.winter olympics, short track speed skating, anton apollo ono
Summer
Favorite = Diving

Least Favorite = Uuummm ya there's about 20 that should not even be allowed. Sailing? Equestrian? Judo and
Taekwondo? Handball? At least Badminton is kind of a sport, i mean i've played it in my backyard during family parties. The others require a boat or a horse.
