Does anybody know, what happened with Asian luge championship? I can't find any results :/ 

 

Thanks :)

 

they should have been contested within the Altenberg World Cup race...

 

but...

 

in the men's singles, no Asian luger was at the start...

 

in the men's doubles, only the Korean pair Park Jin Yong & Kang Dong Kyu did show up...

 

and in the women's singles, where 2 Asian lugers competed (Aileen Frisch, KOR and Lin Sin-Rong, TPE), only one girl could finish the race (Aileen Frisch), meanwhile the other crashed out...

 

therefore, I guess that the titles were not awarded because of lack of competitors...:mumble:

You're probably right but it should be NC races not WC (or at last it was like this year ago). It's almost no differance cause all Asian lugers started in both of them but Lin finished the race in NC ;)

yes, I wrote their performance in the actual WC race 'cause they all qualified for that through the NC race...

but, as you said, probably the Asian titles would have been awarded already after the NC race, in case there were enough competitors...

however, that's just a theory, being the sad truth that there were no lugers enough to contest a continental championship...:(:facepalm:

Yes, that's very sad indeed considering that year ago there was 14 competitors (including two doubels). I checked how many Asians participating in WC/NC this season and it's not a big number: 3 women, 1 or 2 men (honestly I have no idea is Australia part of Asia in this sport) and 1 double. For comparison at the olympics there was 2 women, 3-4 men (Ferlazzo again) and 1 double. There was spots for host of course, but you don't have to qualify to NC so considering that in this season there is no luge competition in Asia (or maybe I just didn't hear about it) number of competitors in WC is very low.

 

Maybe something will change when juniors and youths will grow up. In this season there was only 4 juniors in WCJ (2 girls and 2 boys) but in youths it was 2 boys, 1 boys double, 1 girls double and... 5-7 girls! (one from Australia and one from New Zealand).

Right, I forgot about it. To be honest there are America-Pacific Championships but of course Australia and New Zealand are participating there.

@hckosice Chris Mazder is really enjoying his adventures in Slovakia. Y’all better not be trying to convert his nationality. He’s all we have left (a little bit of a lie, but still, don’t take him).

    • Vittozzi- Wierer in 2019 or even some later. They are still not close friends and do not train together: Vittozzi has been training alone since last season, Wierer with the men's team for 4-5 years and the rest of the Italian team still separately - Vittozzi trained with this second group until she suffered an injury in the autumn of 2024.
    • So far, the Russians haven't even reached the Dnieper River, so don't worry. Poland has the same problem as Ukraine, in that there are no major geographical obstacles to the east: mountains, lakes, rivers, etc. The terrain is quite flat, but to reach Warsaw in a few days, the country would have to fall apart, the army would collapse and the authorities would have to escape from the country. 
    • Probably 0% but in 1939 Germans reached the outskirts of Warsaw after only eight days (the border was more to the east than it is now i.e. they had less ground to cover). The ugly truth is NATO would most likely bide their time in response so the entire eastern Poland would be a battle field for a while.
    • What was the Italian conflict? I can't quite remember.
    • And is there any chance that the Polish president would have escape within the first 2-3 days of war? Probably 0%. In 1939, the authorities escaped, but after an attack from 2 sides, the first being the German attack.
    • Hmm, and were they wanted to capture Kyiv in three days? Since middle of 2022, their run has been slow, so I don't think they'll be using any rapid maneuvers on the future. They surprised Ukraine at the very beginning on the war and were close to success. Zelenskyy only needed to flee the country in the first 2 or 3 days of the war. And Russia could have counted on this happening, because Zelenskyy wasn't an experienced politician or soldier and could have do however they wanted. In my opinion, Zelensky's role in Putin's plan ruined everything for them- he, as a populist and inexperienced man, was to escape from Kiev in the first few days of the war. Then Russia would have put in one of its own- Yanukovych? and Europe and the USA would probably have approved that.
    • Fortifications could only work for illegal immigrants but not against drones. We're wasting missiles worth millions of euro to shoot down drones worth 10k. It's anyone's guess how quickly Russians would reach Vistula River if the invasion came from two sides (Kaliningrad & Belarus). It would be days and not weeks...
    • Shocking news 😔 We just saw him competing 2 days ago in Annecy. 
    • Yes, and Ukraine is very important to Putin- far more important than the Baltic states, Georgia or even Poland. Without Ukraine, the restoration of the former USSR will be impossible for Putin. Another thing is that with pro-Russian Ukraine, Poland will have its entire eastern and northern border (Kaliningrad) with unfriendly countries except Lithuania, so it will basically have to militaries the all entire eastern part of Poland and build various fortifications there.
