Did you know that "Skijoring" was a demonstration sport in the 1928 Olympics in St. Moritz? The sport consists of a person being pulled on skis by a horse or dog. Wiki post on Skijoring
It never became an official Olympic event because organizers couldn't decide whether to give the medal to the animal or the human.
Also, I watched speed skating for the first time since the last winter Olympics...those guys' legs are huge!
