The brazilian one is probably just lucky :p

she was a former Bobsleigh specialist and she came through the North American circuit (I think she did even start her activity only once travelling to the US)...

 

in any case, she has already had some decent results at world level (she was 17th at the last world champs, for instance), so it's not a totally unknown athlete...

The :CZE athlete is a product of the German system.

Well, may be true but you must also look at this case from different perspective as a classic dual citizen. Czech mom German father. ok, living in GER since her childhood, learnt the sport there competed for Germany until PC 2018, but she never denied her czech origins. In opposite she was always proud of it.

Oh there's absolutely nothing wrong with her representing the Czech Republic, frankly it's also good for the sport.

 

The point is just that the Czech Republic didn't suddenly develop a strong skeleton program.
