Spain might have a women's sled in next season's World Cup!

Great, we might see 10 sleds competing at few World Cups in women's event!

Great indeed, because women's bobsled is in quite a very bad situation. Extremely few nations are able to field a competitive sled (which is why I really hope the 4 women's sled won't be officially introduced for quite a while), so Spain coming in would be fantastic. 

 

Same thing for Jazmine Fenlator competing for Jamaica, which could add a nation even to the top ranks

No IBSF world champs in Russia

The only right decision. Messed up for Russian fans, but they only have their own government to "thank" for fucking things up.

Konigsee is favourite to host the Championships now/ Although Altenberg and St.Moritz are other possibilities

What heat for Poser and Evans

Great run for Monaco's four men team in St. Moritz.

Controversy in St. Moritz as Beat Hefti got robbed royally... Last to start, he was inside the top 10 on splits but finishing clock didn't work. He had to make a re-run and finished 21st, so no 2nd run! Oh dear, that's painful...

And Latvia steals the show.
