Cambodia and Vietnam archive their probably 1st top10 in a winter sport (to be fair, they was on the last two spot of the ranking ) 

And now Vietnam is in the last qualifying spot in the women's monobob... wow

First race as a brakeman for Alexandra Burghardt, the commentators seemed a bit clueless about her  "Not a shot putter, not a javelin thrower, definitely a sprinter", no shit, she's a 11.01 100m runner and was semi-finalists at the Olympics just 4 months ago

Well, not a great weekend of sliding for Italy.

Andreutti crashed early on the track, only to have her sled come back in the middle of the kreisel of all places. Finished 7 secs off the pace, but probably won't be allowed to start the second heat.

she shouldn't be allowed to start in any race. point.

 

I know it's all done in perspective of Milano-Cortina 2026 (by the way, 2 days ago the final agreement to rebuild the Cortina track has been signed...€€€ are coming...so, no more attempts to strip the olympic sliding events from their natural location...it should be ready by 2025), but they just can't send these crews to the world cup events, if they're not ready at all for this level of competition...

Ashleigh Werner is presenting the sport of freestyle bobsleigh with this impressive rail grind! IOC better take notice!

 

 

She never actually crashed here. Somehow her sled came back off the wall in time for the next corner.

 

John Morgan never saw something like this so I guess that says it all.

John Morgan: "Look at that...... Airborne! HELLO?!"

 

 

 

But overall not a bad run for the former pole vaulter. @hckošice

Heptathete, but yeah we can say her strongest discipline was the pole vault

So Jamanka with the 2nd best start time, only 0.05 shy of Meyers-Taylor Are we witnessing the Burghardt Effect ?

Someone is getting so fired from the Lochner's crew...

Lochner ended up 21st, failing to make the second heat for the first time in his career.

 

Pretty nice masterclass on how aerodynamics effects the run time.
