One thing that I dislike about the winter Olympics is that many of the events are highly specalized and require expensive equipment and facilities. This is not as much of a problem in the wealthy nations. There are grants an means available to pretty much anyone who is willing to dedicate themselves. Poor nations do not have this luxury. The summer Olympics have many events that require no equipment at all. Not even shoes. I feel that the summer Olympics are a truly world wide event.

Well, there is one major flaw in this: the landing on jumps. As shown, people practice jumps and land in a pool, this is practiced worldwide. What is currently used in parts of ski/snowboard facilities is an artificial snow that is like a plastic. In Lynchburg, VA, the first ski area in the world has opened that only uses this material. It is outdoor and is open 365 days every year. This is what they need at Olympic training centers so participants can practice not only jump, but landing.
