And that was the last Olympic run for our flag-bearer Edson Bindilatti, his 5th Winter Games and now achieving the best result ever for the brazilian 4-man crew (20th). Probably the only noteworthy result from :BRA in Beijing alongside Nicole Silveira in Skeleton (13th).

That was close, but Bronze for Canada!

 

Frustrating because you can out-pilot the Germans all day like Kripps did there, and still lose time.

Crazy how delusional you are ...

Friedrich always has been considered a generational talent, he could probably beat a grandpa like Kripps racing in a salad bowl. It was the same after womens monobob when canadian fans thought that Humphries could seriously win gold in womens 2-man.

Nice of Germany to not sweep another podium and gift Canada a medal. Kripps should probably hand his medal over to the german officials who decided to give Hafer an older bob.

Too bad that Germany had clearly inferior material in 2014, otherwise Friedrich might have gone for 8 golds.

I know you mostly just troll, but to be clear I wasn't talking about Friedrich.  

 

But please go on.

:GER Friederich is denying Lochner gold medals like it's his hobby.

 

Puzzling strategy call for :GER not to give Hafer the best push team, it would have easily secured a podium sweep.

You were talking about "the germans", so how was anyone supposed to read this as "not Friedrich"?

If you were talking about Hafer: He had a different bob. People who watched the race must have realized that he constantly lost time in the last part of the race even without hitting any walls and even in comparison to Kripps.

I totally agree. Germans need to make at least 10 mistakes in a run to not finish in the top 2. It has been the case of the entire sliding program. 

 

I don't think IOC / Organizing committee will pay and make same sleds for all in future. But that's the only way the sport can be saved .

    • I think the reason is that it's generally preferable to have a fast shooter in the 1st leg, and especially in the prone shooting, where Hofer is quite slow.   Now, I'm not saying I agree with the choice, because I don't. I think it's going to neutralize Giacomel's skiing skills in the 1st lap at least.   I guess the idea is to try and set a very fast pace in the 1st leg, which is usually quite tactical, but I'm afraid that's going to force Giacomel to risk too much because he will feel he has to make some time somehow.   Regardless, Italy must be on the podium tomorrow. I think that would be crucial for the following races as well. I think France is the clear favorite, but the other teams are not stronger than Italy on paper.
