It's my first time hearing about this type of sport. "Skijoring" is the combination of snow, skis, and horse-powered speed. It is considered an extreme winter sport because horses pull the skiers. The other option is that it can be pulled by dogs, snowmobiles, and cars. It is popular in countries such as Poland, Switzerland, Colorado, Wyoming, and Montana in the US. Recently, the chair of Skijor USA, Loran Zhimanskova, has announced that the sport will be included at the 2034 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City.
Do you think skijoring should be included in the Winter Olympics?
How do you feel about skijoring?

Never heard of that in my life, but I guess if a sport like Curling can be in the Olympics...Skijoring could be too. It amazes me what lengths people will go to to entertain themselves..although I could see this being practical too really if you had to go somewhere fast.
