"The inclusion of these events on the Olympic Winter Games programme is sure to be appreciated by athletes and sports fans alike," IOC President Jacques Rogge was quoted as saying by Xinhua.

"These are exciting, entertaining events that perfectly complement the existing events on the sports programme, bring added appeal and increase the number of women participating at the Games. I look forward to watching the athletes compete in these events in Sochi 2014," he said.
