Tell me how often you see down hill skiing, bobsled and luge well publicized on television. The only other time I see most of these sports is the X Games and that is just Snowboarding and Skiing.

... you can say that about 90% of Olympic events., summer or winter. Just because they aren't on TV every night of the week doesn't mean they aren't popular and have huge followings during the Olympics.
