Yeah much better from Ninis and expected much worse from Skupek :d

 

I just hope Jozef will make it to the 4th Heat this time in his last Olympics, will be hard to be in top 20 though. For Skupek a Top 30 would be nice.

:CZE Michael Lejsek today's runs both under 1 minute and top 10 in his group. This track probably fits him as he barely was able to make the main race during WC.

Some thoughts from the first few televised training runs I’ve seen. Track is quite unique. The open curve profiles are wild. No look at the spiral today (covered from sun), so don’t know what to make of it. That roller at the bottom is quite something though.

 

Parts of the track that seem to be more problematic/points of interest:

- Exit Turn 2

- Turn before the entrance to the spiral (Turn 8?)

- Roller right before the finish


 

Nikolajev :BIH with a bit of scary run as well. Issues from the start.

What are these camera angles? The venue is also ugly, for a lack of a better word.

They cant possibly be as Bad as the Ski jumping Camera Angles.

Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached.

    • https://nypost.com/2026/01/31/sports/team-canada-skeleton-coach-joe-cecchini-speaks-out-after-american-katie-uhlaender-manipulation-claim/   Oh the drama....   Cecchini: “I don’t really wanna speak negatively about Katie, but Katie was not on the World Cup team. She wasn’t a top-tier athlete in that program anymore. She was at the end of her career. I would personally would rather race against Katie. She’s not as competitive as the other athletes,” he said. “It’s probably really unfair to say and not really where I want to go with this but that’s where we are with that.”   Uhlaender: “If I were Canada, I would be concerned in how this coach is representing the Olympic values for his country,” Uhlaender told Fox News Digital. “He hurt a whole field of athletes, all with dreams, and this sends the message that they don’t matter unless they are number one. All athletes matter, and we all deserve to compete fairly, with integrity, and respect. He did not respect anyone in that field. “This is not about my resume or how good the athletes were in the race. This is about the fact that he intentionally manipulated the competition to hurt myself and 13 other countries because he felt it necessary to eliminate all possibility. That is against the spirit of sport and not what the Olympic movement represents.”   Isn't it great when other people's dirty laundry is aired?  /sarcasm     (I was a little surprised to see NPR pick this up, but per this article, Uhlaender preemptively recorded the phone call after receiving a text from Cecchini that said he had 'bad news' for her.)
    • Idea (that I don't want to mess with right now, but someone else can steal the idea): Could feed the docs from LA28 + Paris 2024 through AI and see what it says.  (Would just take downloading them, perhaps merging them for ease of upload, and passing it through.)
    • If you have time would love to see a sport by sport overview of the changes/new sports
    • Slowly going through the documents.   Looks like canoe slalom qualifiers will be a bit different. More kayak cross quotas which will let nations to essentially qualify two kayakers.
    • How about we choose either Rome or Milano  I hate this timeline we have entered of multiple host cities / countries. The football World Cup became ludicrous, we don't need the Olympics to join them. At least not more than they already are.

    • FIBA World Cup Qualifier March P.R.   This is my proposed Young Guns Developmental Roster. The FIBA World Cup Qualifier in P.R. is a throwaway tour- nament for Team USA after the Gold Medal Game debacle. This is the perfect environment to test the Young Guns to see who has it, who does not, and who needs more devel- opment. The 2026 FIBA World Cup in Berlin is the tuneup for 2028 in L.A. The game against Spain will answer many questions.   Betts     Center age: 22 Boston  Center age: 24 Brink     SF, F   age: 24 Stewart  F, PF  age: 32 Kiki Iriafen F     age: 22 Jackson SF       age: 24 Howard  SF, SG age: 26 CC         PG       age: 24 Paige     SG       age: 24 Young    SG, PG age: 28 Plum      SG, PG age: 32 Citron    SG         age: 22
    • I'm also reminded as I know Canadians are painfully aware that if figures hadn't been a part of the 1984 Olympics, then Brian Orser would have won gold.  Hamilton could have finished 4th in the free skate that year and still beat Orser who finished 7th in the figures
