    DH is hard to film. My guess is that sensationalizing the sport is the limiting factor. It is much more deserving of Olympic representation than trampoline or floor routine. It makes me sad that it is not an Olympic sport. And it is definitely not possible to win an elite DH race and be anything but in tip-top physical shape and have F1-like reflexes. I imagine there are factors involved that would make me disappointed in the IOC if they were unveiled here.
