The bobsleigh and skeleton world championships will be held in Sochi this winter. More and more athletes are talking about boycotting it since the IOC said Russia shouldn't organize any major champion

Elizabeth Yarnold and Kim Meylemans have said they are planning on boycotting the 2017 WCh if they're not moved away from Sochi. Well, Yarnold left the option to boycott open, Meylemans said she'll boycott for sure if it's not moved.

Katie Tannenbaum (ISV) won't be going neither if the WCH will be held in Russia and the Dukurs brothers have expressed doubts through their coach/dad (who won't go to Sochi) as well. This is picking up interest..

Another British slider Laura Deas is undecided, if there is anything suspicious in the upcoming report then she won't be going either

So, i'm not a skeleton expert but whats happened?

 

The bobsleigh and skeleton world championships will be held in Sochi this winter. More and more athletes are talking about boycotting it since the IOC said Russia shouldn't organize any major championships for now after the state-sponsored doping scandal (there apparently also is the pathetic, Middle Age-like homophobia that nobody with a decent mind would be ok with, but I think the doping thing is the biggest thing).

Not to be disrespectful, but I don't think many people care if someone like Kim Meylemans or Katie Tannenbaum boycotts. :p

 

Possibly, although we are talking about a top-10 athlete in the world then. But as you might see above, they are not the only names :p 

 

Yarnold, Dukurs, Dukurs, Deas..those are big names.

      Hypothetically she could meet the minimum standards still with a high placement in the NAC event tomorrow. Seems unlikely to me, but still possible.

      Yea she did not meet the minimum points. Since the event doesn't have enough qualifiers, its possible the FIS still grants her a quota

      Thats good, but I think Galica should take some rest because of his age and Suchodolski could be replaced by Skorusa for example to give him any chance to show in World Cup
