10. Slalom Skiing / Snowboarding
While you may ask why this is ranked higher than ski/snowboard cross…well that’s a very good question. And really the only reason this gets the nod is because not only are there obstacles in slalom, but you run over them. And that looks really confusing/distracting/difficult. When I snowboard I eat it if I hit a tiny bump in the snow. Meanwhile these athletes race at high speeds while running over giant flexible poles that can come back and hit them in the face (hence the facemask).
