More winter sportspeople categories[edit]

Do you think we should include a "lugers by city or town" and "skiers by city or town"? Most of the countries where winter sports are highly popular e.g. Canada and Germany, often have a large amount of winter sport athletes who compete in luge, skeleton, biathlon and skiing events in their large cities that occupy a "sportspeople from ..." category. It's only a suggestion and I don't know if there was a category for the above mentioned category ideas; I have noticed in a few of the sportspeople in Canadian cities categories have about 40+ entries of winter sportsmen and sportswomen.
