As per the link on the front page - Haile G, K Bekele, and Paul Tergat have asked Jacque Rogge to consider putting XC back into the Olympics - either as a summer or winter sport. I would LOVE to see this.
Any others have feelings on this either way? Preferences for summer or winter? I personally would prefer to see winter so that the race would not interfere with track running (I know Nurmi won in '24 in addition to his track wins, but no one was near his level then - it's a bit more competitive now). However, the logistics of running the thing up in the ski resort towns that usualy host winter olympics could be a problem.
