Boardercross → Snowboard cross — This discipline is called Snowboard Cross by the FIS, the international governing body for the sport, as well as the International Olympic Committee [1].Wine Guy Talk 19:51, 9 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment isn't Boardercross the ISF name? 76.66.197.17 (talk) 05:35, 10 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Reply: No, the FIS/ISF (Fédération Internationale de Ski/International Ski Federation) uses the term Snowboard Cross, and abbreviation SBX. See [2] and [3], both official FIS sites. Wine Guy Talk 18:21, 10 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Reply No, the ISF not the FIS; The International Snowboarding Federation, the international sanctioning body that began international snowboarding. 76.66.197.17 (talk) 19:44, 10 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The International Snowboard Federation ceased operation in 2002 after the International Olympic Committee recognized the Fédération Internationale de Ski as the sport's official governing body. See ISF Folds Operations Wine Guy Talk 02:20, 11 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I thought I would be opposing but it appears this is the way of the future for the name. My impression is that boardercross is currently the common name (WP:COMMONNAME). But it's going to be Snowboarder X at the X-Games and Snowboard Cross at the Olympics. It may be a bit WP:CRYSTAL to change it at this point but I feel safe supporting a move. I should point out that I Support Snowboard cross and Oppose Snowboard Cross, it's a sport not a proper name.--Labattblueboy (talk) 06:29, 11 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You are absolutely right about the capitalization, that was a major brain fart on my part; I've edited the requested destination here and at WP:RM. Regarding any crystal ball concerns, not so much. It was snowboard cross at the 2006 Winter Olympics, and there is no shortage of reliable sources to verify that it will be at the 2010 Games as well. It has been an official FIS discipline, called snowboard cross/SBX, since the 1996-97 season. (FIS Snowboard Events 1997 season). Wine Guy Talk 07:30, 11 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
