Cross-Country in the olympics
Do you think it's unfair that XC isn't in the olympics...they have Cycling which is practically the same and even the marathon so why not a quick 3mile course?

i respect xc runners, so i think that it should be in the olympics, i mean if all the other sports are in it then i think xc should be in the olympics. I know i am a cheerleader, but if i had the strenght to run i would do it. it takes just as much training as all the other sports, and cycling is not the same at all. so yea i think it is unfair that xc isnt in the olympics.

but its not the same as a 5k with hills and then there could be the whole team aspect if they wanted to put that in there.

the 5k is in track.
