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

Short track has one bad one as well. The hockey venues are horrible as well.

Full list of quotas and nominated athletes was posted by the FIL today: https://www.fil-luge.org/cdn/uploads/fil-luge-qualification-list.pdf    declines their quota in women’s singles, which

Surely that consideration has nothing to do with that same athlete having a sub-par season to say the very least...

I guess China doesnt have much experience with hosting Winter Sports Events.

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

Watching :BIH does not fill me with confidence…

I found his 5th training run to be a stressful experience as well.

Only 7 athletes within 1 second after day 1. Very selective track. In 2018, we had 13 athletes within 1 second after run 4.

Kindl and Ludwig are practically even, will be very very close tomorrow.

I haven't checked if somebody mentioned this here before but :GEO Saba Kumaritashvili (currently 30th) is a cousin of late Nodar Kumaritashvili who was killed in this tragic accident in Vancouver. Please remember the guy today.

Few thoughts...

 

Well... I am loving this track! It's long. Camera angles are amazing. Gaps are huge, meaning a lot can be gained/lost, and that there will be huge deficits on the final leaderboard (like reading results from some vintage Olympics).

 

Pretty convinced the Ukrainian luge federation is just a front for a money-laundering operation. In Pyeongchang they finished last in every event (both singles, doubles, relay). Today both their men crashed in run 1. Come on?

 

Should be an exciting battle Ludwig vs Kindl for gold. I am tipping Kindl actually. :yes

I agree with @dcro

I'm also pretty sure that the track got slower after the first 4 or 5 runs in both runs, but then managed to be at least fair for every guy (on the contrary of many races we've seen on the "historical" tracks in these years)...

the only thing I don't like about it, it's the excessive importance that the start has, I'd have liked a couple more tricky passages in the late turns and to avoid that uphill section...

Obviously, I hope that D-Fish can save his ass and get the bronze medal he missed by 2/1000 of a second 4 years ago...

Is it possible to watch training runs somewhere?

I think the 5th and 6th training runs of the sliding sports are broadcast on the international feed. NBC has picked a few of them up.

I really lived the Beijing track at the test event, too. It’s a shame it won’t be a regular on the world cup circuit due to it’s location.

      It’s honestly baffling how bad she was in 2018. Just absolutely lost her head. Real shame too because she is so gifted. I do hope Li Jianrou sends her a Christmas card every year tho, she was absolutely gifted a gold medal by Christie in 2014.

      Italy also has its own list, although of course not every injury is as terribile  in terms of medal losses. In winter sports have unfortunately much more injuries than summer sports. In the summer only: cycling, volleyball and football.     - Brignone: will return in January, - Tabanelli: will return for the Olympics, - Bassino: season over, - Marta Rossetti: season over, - Lara Malsinier: season over.

      TNT staff expect they will offer it at a price similar to what they offering the Winter Olympics for rather than the full TNT price.   But equally the main coverage is apparently going to be very different to what they do for the Olympics (Which is less pundits and studio chat than the BBC) with speculation it might be based on NBC’s Olympic coverage with tons of human interest etc.
