Apparently tens of sleds got stuck in China and didn't get transported in time for Sochi. Brilliant organization! They must check of course if the athletes were smuggling cocaine in their sleds for the Chinese youth. :)

Just catching up now, but damn, that trip to China seems to have had some consequences with half the field's stuff being gone and/or still in customs :yikes:

Another unwatchable/irregular race in Sochi.

 

But since the Germans always end up on top in these, FIL has zero incentive to change anything.

FIL has made a key change to the qualification system for Beijing 2022. Instead of all 7 world cups counting, only an athletes best 4 finishes will matter for qualification.

I’m guessing partly COVID, partly the expense of a globe-trotting season.

Partly the sleds being held in China for a whole month. I'm sure no engineers were allowed to inspect it. :whistle:

    • Yeah. It was pretty bad that they cancel the contract with the original creative director after 7 months of work. I feel like politics, in this particular context of the changing of prime minister and the cabinet, may had caused changes in organizational decisions regarding the Sea Games including the direction of the opening ceremony. 
    • That's what I figured.  Wouldn't be a proper lead up to an Olympics without some media-fueled fearmongering.  
    • Today : Jordan 3-0 Egypt  This team will surprise us                 
    • option no.2 for sure, as it's been all this shitstorm organized by the nhl owners through their embedded reporters   ps not that the north american audience looks really aware of the hockey rules and habits outside the nhl (and around their game, too, since they look not to know that just a couple of weeks ago they played 2 nhl matches on an ice sheet of the exact same size of Milan's olympic arena)
    • Are we supposed to take Daly's word for it or is this just public posturing to try and shame the Milan organizers (which they certainly deserve for all the delays) in order to threaten NHL participation?
