Big thanks from Britain to Latvia and Austria. The coaching of Martin Dukurs and Matthias Guggenberger has worked brilliantly this winter.
Day 1 men
So tonight's race was streaming fine on YouTube until the two British sliders right at the end where the stream cut out a message came up "This stream has been suspended for policy violations" then came back on after the race was over.
Was this a UK thing or did it happen everywhere?
Congratulations to the Chinese guy for winning the men's gold at Beijing 2022 and to the British 400 metre hurdler at winning the women's gold medal.
I'm going to look really clever if this works out and nobody will remember if i'm wrong...
What they usually do in cycling is use all the new parts over the year before the Olympics but only use them all together at the Olympics.
Not sure that can work in Skeleton?
If I could I would increase the women's field to 30 and cut the maximum entries per country in some of the skiing events from 4 to 3
Been told Jamaica will announce their male skeleton slider will go to the Olympics.
And after the Intercontinental Cup race this morning Canada have taken an Olympic place from the British
So I reckon GBR now has 3 Olympic men's quotas but it will go back to 2 if Martineau of Canada finishes better than 18th in the Intercontinental Cup on Saturday
ExpandI've only taken a quick look at the last 20 years or so and already saw a couple of events come pretty close (in swimming and diving for example), I'd say it's likely that it has happened before after WW2
And yet in women's skeleton you don't even need a track in your country to win at the Olympics...
. Can anyone confirm if this is true?
ExpandOh come on...I mean, I'm all for spreading a sport, but it would just be unfair if she goes and someone like Gilardoni/Flock/Priedulena/Meylemans wouldn't go..
So the way I calculate the Nigerian just has to finish next week's race in Lake Placid to qualify???

So 5 of Australia's top 6 current WTA players were not born in Australia. Only Gadecki was. At least Birrell lived most of her life there and Joint has an Australian parent. Even Saville at least eventually married an Aussie even though when she first got citizenship it was a total joke. Tomljanovic and Kasatkina playing for Australia is so weird. Also it's quite pathetic a country like Australia, with so many resources for tennis, has to keep naturalizing players because they can't produce their own talents... -

It comes down to what is taught in Poland about the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth. The Union of Lublin isn't shown as unfavorable for Lithuania as it really was. A lot of the southern territories of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania was "given" to Poland but it was actually stolen by Poles, the Polish language overpowered the Lithuanian one among the elites, the common coin was Polish-based. At one point, the PLC starts to get treated like one big country, with Vilnus as one of the major cities of Poland. The Vilnius University shown as an important Polish university, Mickiewicz calling Lithuania his home while writing in Polish, etc. The whole stuff after the World War One is barely touched in the high school when barely anyone cares about history anyway, I guess most people don't even know it. With this lack of the knowledge, Vilnus is one of the lost Polish cities, just like Lviv. The current animosities are down to the early 2010s and Grybauskaitė being the president of Lithuania - when there was the increase of the Lithuanian subjects taught in the Polish schools, troubles with Polish surnames, places' and streets' names. The Polish hooligans were also quick to pick it up. To be honest, Lithuania isn't looked down at but people don't understand why Lithuania has the right not to like Poland.
