A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Why so many indoor events then? Also, the typical seasons of many of of the "Summer" Olympics events are in the winter.

They're games that people CAN play outdoors during summer.

Also, the typical seasons of many of of the "Summer" Olympics events are in the winter.

I don't understand this question.

What I mean is that I consider basketball, for example, to be a winter sport since it is properly played indoors on a wooden court and therefore its season is during the cold months of the year.

I can't say i agree. But everyone is entitled to their own opinion
