To put this in a bit of context: almost nobody was there in those races, except for a few Canadians and Americans, sometimes not even 7-8 sleds in total...I mean, it's good for training and all, but this kinda sounds like it should be a big deal, which (for a team with World Cup top-5 potential) it really shouldn't be.. 

 

But the trick is to sweettalk the general audience into believing that budget cuts were a criminal act. :p

Ah yes, the beloved post-Olympic season of women's bobsleigh. 9 will be the average number of WC starters.

Finally they hear my suggestions. Calgary will host a WC stage for the first time in forever.

My favorite athlete, if you’ve ever seen my profile. I have a small love for good athletes from tiny European nations

Anthony Rinaldi is there with a sled too now, back in IBSF competition after 8 years :d

Not a shock being Prince Albert holds the sport near a dear (he was an Olympic bobsleder after all). Probably no shortage of funding given Rinaldi’s recent success

I'm getting annoyed at all those athletics people coming to bobsleigh just to help a driver with a fast start. Oh wait :p

 

However, judging by single heat rankings, Muze is a bit of a reckless driver...

Does anyone know what happened in North American Cup Calgary (CAN) ?

 

Why 2-man Bobsleigh has not released results? There is no results in the January 10th competition, and the PDF released on January 11th is not a men's competition.(They just corrected the PDF)

      We have much more events and there may be no Russia in 2026 so most of the NOCs should improve. But not Poland i’m afraid

      For sure better for  one silver - I think it was Shelly Rudman, Skeleton.  Can definitely improve on that.   Still remember it as a good games, though - think it was the first time I took two weeks off work to watch a Winter Games.

      As a Montreal Canadien fan, I am in agreement. However, he is struggling recently and is demoted to the 4th line this week. Hoping he can turn it around.
