What a crying shame that Canada, a country with some of the most deep-rooting winter sports traditions, has now put 2 cities forwarded in consecutive cycles and had to abandon both.

they will never do it...it's Sigulda or Lillehammer for them.

 

and tbh, I think it's time to get rid of artificial track sliding sports...the venue is always too expensive and extremely controversial.

 

time to have just the Natural Track Luge and stop.

 

if the Winter Olympics still make sense in a mid/long future...

as the article says, it's a youth / junior facility.

 

there's no way you can host a senior race on a track 700m short and with only 6 curves (and tbh I also think it's not enough even for the junior class, it's good just for the babies, to start the activity already on an artificial track instead of the natural tracks, like it happens right now in South Tyrol and sometimes also in Austria).

 

50 million venues just to let  win 10+ gold medals at the Games...not really necessary...
