Orangehair43 172 Posted February 18, 2022 #162 Share Posted February 18, 2022 Wouldn’t be surprised to no teams in 2026. The performances are not looking strong enough to secure much funding. Could well be a absence from all the sliding events if the cuts really bite. Ted 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, this is way Kalicki isn't top 3 ... Germany not being top 2 would have been one of the biggest shocks in olympic history. Really disgusting how people keep having insane expectations for the american grandmas. Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached.

Yea, but it seems to me its also due to superior German sleds. Kind of like Red Bull F1 cars in 2013 or Merc F1 cars in 2016. Of course in both years the teams concerned also had capable driver to go with their space-ship cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NearPup 2,156 Posted February 19, 2022 #166 Share Posted February 19, 2022 The sleds definitively seem to be way, way better than any other sleds in the competition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heywoodu 13,540 Posted February 19, 2022 #167 Share Posted February 19, 2022 What's with those track/angle graphics in all three sliding sports being shown basically all the time, but basically only around this specific point of the track? They've shown that literally dozens and dozens of times (if not a couple of hundred, considering the amount of runs in luge, skeleton and bobsleigh combined), but all the time it's just the part around the Kreisel If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

I mean, we know how the Kreisel goes now after two weeks, and this graphic is cool....but show the whole track every now and then.

I guess they expected this part being the most important of the track. No idea why the do not use this graphics also at other speed intermediates as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
