Luge 2018 - 2019 Discussion Thread


Recommended Posts

Still a nice result, a win is a win :p the more important fact is that At least there someone behind Ninis for the future who may be able to compete in the world cup.

well, you already have a good young man (Jakub Simonak), who was 11th in the Nations Cup and then 27th in the World Cup race in Innsbruck ("only" 4 positions and half a second behind Ninis)...

and also a promising double (Tomas Vavercak and Matej Zmij), who were 5th in the Nations Cup and then 13th in the World Cup race (always in innsbruck)...

and in the Austrian WC stage, there was also a girl (Andrea Pavlikova) at the start, even if she didn't get as good results as the guys (she was only 35th out of 38 starters in the Nations Cup)...

so, the situation for Slovak Luge sport is not so dark as you could think (OK, the top positions are still far away...and maybe they will never get close to that...but at least you already have a full set of world cup level lugers...and maybe in Beijing you'll have a chance to start also in the team event)...;)

Dominik Fischnaller, Andrea Voetter and Ludwig Rieder/Patrick Rastner are the Italian champions in their respective category for the 2018/2019 season...

Dominik won a close race with a 0.1 sec margin over his cousin Kevin in the men's single; Andrea won the women's single with a wider margin (over 2/10 of a second) over the young Verena Hofer (Nina Zoeggeler ended up in 5th place); Rieder & Rastner won the doubles' competition, which turned out to be the most exciting of the entire day, with only 17/1000 of a second advantage over the youth world champions, Ivan Nagler/Fabian Malleier (and also Emanuel Rieder/Simon Kainzwaldner, who ended up in 3rd place, were very close, just 61/1000 of a second outside the winning time)...

p.s. the races were held in Oberhof (GER) as in Italy we're still without a track (even a modest one, good just for a few national races)...:facepalm::wall:

for Italy, in the girls' race, very disappointing outcome for Verena Hofer, who lost a very much anticipated gold medal because of a very poor 1st run...

meanwhile the bronze medal won by Lukas Gufler among the boys has to be considered a good result...

let's see what happens tomorrow in the doubles' race, with another chance for Italy (namely, Gufler and Felderer) to get some satisfaction in this really shady winter for our luge sport...

Vaverčák/Zmij always close of the podiums like it was at the Youth Olympics or at the European championships last month, this time again very close, nice 5th place.

and the Junior World Champs end with the local team (Austria) winning the Team Relay, thus spoiling the German party and avoiding the clean sweep by the guys from North of the Border...

Germany ended up the team race in second place and Russia in 3rd...

Italy had another shameful moment when Alex Gufler, already losing a lot of time since the start of his stint, made a big mistake and blew all of our chances away with a depressing DNF...:cry::facepalm::wall:

full result, here:

    • Due the cancellation of the Division II A tournament this year, no team will progress from this tournament     The winner will receive gold medal and be declared Division II Group B World Champion but will have to stay in this category also for the next edition
    • I told you that longtime ago     
    • Men´s Division II Group A World Championship schedulled in Al-Ain this year has been cancelled   So the ranking will be frozen and no team will be promoted to I B / Relegated this year from I B and promoted from II B / Relegated to II B   https://www.iihf.com/en/news/72580/2026_iihf_wmiia_championship_cancelled   The 2026 IIHF World Championship Division II Group A (WMIIA), originally scheduled to take place in the United Arab Emirates, has been cancelled following a decision by the International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF).   As a result, promotion and relegation for the WMIIA Championship will be frozen for the 2026 season.

    • How wonderful!   I met the national rowing (and beach rowing) coach of EST/LTU/LAT on the way to ice hockey one day, who's Canadian by the way. I also flew home on the same flight as JC Schoonmaker's mom and friends, so we chatted for a bit.
    • Yea I only used transit besides this Uber / bus to the airport and back. All the venues were at the end of the line, so it allowed you to speak with other fans/volunteers etc. I even met Corrine Stoddard's mom after the first session of short track on the way back, and told her to remember our conversation if she won a medal later in the Olympics. We know how that ended up... 
    • I used public transit the entire time I was in Milan.   My first day was a doozy, because I had to two flights to reach Malpensa, and then the train into town was delayed, and then I got confused a station and boarded a tram instead of the metro, proceeded to travel in the wrong direction, got off, walked back to the station, found the metro, got off a station early, walked around a kilometer to my hotel, and checked in.   My colleagues mostly took cabs upon arrival, but I deduced to take the frugal approach. That said, I was a true public transit professional by the time I left Milan.   I actually enjoyed my rides to and from venues, because I'd just chat up fans and volunteers from different countries. It helped me learn more about the city too.   
    • It's the olympics, sleep is for the weak!    The first day i got there i was on a 12 hour flight from l.a to rome (flight that left mid day), lay over, another flight to milan, uber to hotel, then right away to speed skating (1500m men), then after uber to hockey venue for women's gold final, then after the celebrations uber to the hotel, i ended up being awake about 36 hours that day, the next morning i thought to go sightseeing in the center of milan, but ended up sleeping until like 2pm..... and had speed skating/short track that night
