OlympicIRL 4,756 Posted February 16, 2018 #132 Share Posted February 16, 2018 Right, so what's up now? I am on the verge of going to bed now so what could possibly tempt me otherwise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrv86 2,852 Posted February 16, 2018 #133 Share Posted February 16, 2018 No medal for Dukurs Hope Latvia gets at least a bronze in Bobsleigh; if not this will be their 2nd Olympic Games (Winter and Summer) without medals, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thepharoah 2,264 Posted February 16, 2018 #134 Share Posted February 16, 2018 Dukurs Congrats Yun what a dominating race by him -1.52 from Silver that's amazing , Congrats GB for 1st medal here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MHSN 3,047 Posted February 16, 2018 #135 Share Posted February 16, 2018 Out of all these sports, Iran sport channel picked up Skeleton for live coverage today morning I wonder how many people woke up 5 am to watch Skeleton ! maybe zero (can't count myself, I was watching Alpine) Korea winning the gold here makes me think if Skeleton is easy to learn and improve ?! Korea probably was nobody in this sport 10 years ago. I'm sure they invested money in all winter sports , not just this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NearPup 2,095 Posted February 16, 2018 #137 Share Posted February 16, 2018 ...on the bright side, Martins Dukurs didn't get denied by the home favorite and Thomas Dukurs didn't finish forth for a third time in a row. So yay for Latvia? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koreans had around million runs on this track, and they have custom designed sleds just for this track. Enough said. Kim gets 6th place in his first championships, right...

Though, honestly, Yun has quite the talent for it. He would have won on a neutral track given his form. MHSN 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not only because they're playing home , other wise they would have at least a top 5 finish in luge , they won't do also something special in Bobsleigh , p.s having this enormous margin on gold medal can't be from playing home only , so it's fair enough to give them credit here Edited February 16, 2018 by thepharoah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
