3 minutes of all out 6 on 6. Sprinting up a hill on skis. Taking off the skis running up snowy stairs. Put them back on and fly down a hill to the finish. Hilarious

They should at least make them climb a rock wall or something. The stairs are so dumb.

Had to look this up because I had never heard of it. Here's a video for people wondering what this actually looks like:

Since its inception, the Winter Olympics has had no problem taking outdoor activities and calling them a "sport" since it had so few actual competitive sports to begin with.

I enjoyed the hell out of it. My only issue are the announcers.

"He's so exhausted, he won't even remember this!" as the guy looks perfectly fine

Agreed….they weren’t nearly as exhausted as some of the other cross country sports!

Need to make it longer. Do away with the stairs. They have to climb all the way up the hill, ski down and do another lap.
