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 used to think Johnston(e) - from some place John build (aka stone for building something hehe).   I'm not familiar if Scottish or Irish clans are named after such clan founder or a place?

      Perfectly obvious.    Johnson = son of John Johnston or Johnstone = From St John's Town ie Perth in Scotland.
