Sadly now the question is who next to uphold the winter games flag....Since none others present.... A delegation can compete and join in the athlete parade with only one athlete. In 2014 India doesn't join in the parade becouse they was suspended by the CIO (like Kuwait in Rio). Lucky the suspension was over when India start to compete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have few sledgers who participate in Olympics but they are like lucky picks and not qualified. My problem is we would miss someone we can be proud of of their achievements.

I’m not actually sure if that matters since Italy has sleeds in all events (that and I am pretty confident the Italians will finish at least one relay).

phelps 6,536 Posted November 25, 2017 #37 Share Posted November 25, 2017 (edited) what a farce this week's races are gonna be! c'mon, man! after 10 sleds the track has already gone...even the worst alpine skiing slopes in the history didn't get such an unfair race... as I wrote last week, it's impossible to stage a WC race in southern/central Europe before Christmas (and beyond the end of January)...

Still, it has provided horrid weather conditions for the 3rd straight season (I don't remember beyond that). I'm pretty sure this one would be bad even in January (as if we need more German tracks in January....). #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
