[edit] Distances, styles, and starts

I think a paragragh or two should be devoted to the ever-chaging number and types of events held at the Olympics. I read on the Turin 2006 Winter Olympics page, that cross-country skiing is alternating the styles (classical and freestlye) in certain events after each olympics. If this could be discussed in-depth, I think it would be helpful. Also, it seems that the distances in some events have been lengthened as well as the starts having been modified. Mass starts, interval starts, and pursuits should also be discussed and differentiated.
