Does it matter? Most winter sports have a lot of expensive gear and are somewhat exclusive to start out with. If youre not living in the right spots youll need access to training facilities. And for most of the sports there isnt much payoff anyway. Not a ton to get worked up over.

It's almost like the winter Olympics are more geared to people who live in colder climates

Look at the countries competing in the winter games. Mostly white countries from cold weather regions. The black percentage skyrockets at the summer games.
