Wonderful snow in Konigssee. :)

 

As for Obratov, 22nd place in nations cup yesterday. 17th place on the last split before finish however, what would have been a decent result...

I am going to brag about this for 4 years if Repilov actually wins gold :p 

 

Today I had a bit of a chat with luge announcer too, also with Tucker West. He mentioned both of my messages. :d

another disastrous result in the team relay...few years ago we were constantly aound 6th place now we are still among the lasts...if it will continue this way I´m worried if we will even qualify our relay for the olympics :(

 

To be fair, Slovak female racer hit the wall like five times in a domino effect. If they had another go, they would be 3-4 seconds faster for sure.

yes, She is still young, it´s her 1st season in the world cup, she had some promising results in the juniors category so I assume it would need some time to adapt in the senior level for her. at least we have still some sources in the youth category like Zmij/Veverčák in the doubles, they  even finished many times on the podiums. but our problem is we have almost nobody in decent level in seniors category, also Jozef Ninis will not compete for eternity among mens, he is already the oldest athlete in the circuit and I don´t see anyone who can replace him after PyeongChang

World Championships started today with some surprising results in sprints. Gold medals for :USA Hamlin, :GER Wendl/Arlt, :AUT Kindl.

 

Only bronze for Germany in women's and no medal for Germany in men's sprint (not even top 5). :yikes: This sport is actually becoming unpredictable. 6 nations won medals today.
