temperature was up to 12° Celsius...

 

in the second run, apart for the usual 2 or 3 Germans used to manage these conditions, all the others who were in top the part of the ranking after the 1st run, were just screwed by the track getting worse and worse after every ride...

Finally a decent relay from our team. Damn was about time, so far it has been one endless disaster for our relay this season.

Where did Tim Singer go?  

[hckošice 14,790]

Damn, despite having two guys in the main race we still managed to lose the second M Singles quota for Beijing

Looks like every nation who tried will indeed qualify a sled for women's singles. Moldova and Ireland stand to get in once NED/NZL decline. That's just a question of time.

 

They should remove 10 quotas from singles luge and award it to skeleton.

Well it's the qualification system, I am sure if Skeleton had the same system, we would have more countries qualify.

6h place in the Relay. Finally some positive results (7th and 6th in last two relays) after disastrous start of the season

For a moment it seemed like Sics/Sics might walk away with WC title this year, against all the odds...

 

But not to worry, all is well in the luge world. FIL just casually decided to annul Eggert/Benecken's DQ in Winterberg from almost a month ago. The leading gap is now smaller and Sics/Sics will likely lose their title today in St. Moritz.
