I think at some point Germany will have to adapt the same strategy. Interestingly neither GB nor Australia were/are remotely competitive in luge. Luge is different, countries with a track cannot be beaten. Luge is the default sliding sport, everyone starts as children so we can never beat that. With skeleton, everyone, even Latvians, starts much later so there’s more chance for the non-track nations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, former ski jumpers finished 1-2 in WOG. Skeleton is really a low-hanging fruit compared to some of the other winter sports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
