With the addition this year of team figure skating and a luge relay, New York Times columnist Christopher Clarey asks if we have too many sports in the Winter Olympics. He says it doesn’t appear the games are done growing either. Most of the new sports are different takes on old sports, like mixed biathlon, where you don’t need a new venue and you only need the approval of the International Olympic Committee’s board to gain acceptance.
