X Games
Let an agent explain the X Games, relay history, disciplines, venues and notable athletes from sports sources, describe summer and winter editions, and distinguish the X Games from the Olympics, the Gravity Games, Dew Tour and esports tournaments, noting the registry misclassification.
Research draft, second pass
A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

What it is Filled
An annual extreme sports event organised by ESPN since 1995, with Summer X Games in skateboarding, BMX and motocross and Winter X Games in snowboarding, freestyle skiing and snowmobiling, where athletes compete for gold, silver and bronze medals; the X Games helped popularise action sports that later joined the Olympics. The registry classes it as an esports competition, which appears to be a misclassification, although some editions briefly included video gaming.
