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).

    • need to work on the celebrations... or just drop them?   Btw, these jerseys suck and I remember Zambia playing in all white with red numbers. At least they have orange on national flag but still...    
    • British Columbia in general and Vancouver in particular are awesome and it’s great more people got to discover it thanks to Vancouver 2010.
    • And of course the British being famous for curmudgeons, there were always plenty of curmudgeons to quote.  Then of course from the opening ceremony and the cycle race on the very first morning it was obviously going to be triumph, so everyone just shut up for a while.  
    • Yep, the amount of emergency services I heard at some point was a little extreme (for our little town), so I checked what was going on and saw they were all being called to a specific location. Until then I thought maybe it was part of a parade of trucks and agricultural vehicles that was on it's way from the next town over, decorated with lights and stuff.   Since I knew it was on the parade route, I was sure one of those big vehicles had hit people somehow (there were, besides the many vehicles, also two helicopters on the way, meaning it certainly wasn't about a single victim).   We picked our bikes and went to take a look, absolutely chaos in the area. Never saw so many services combined together, fire trucks from 20km away, ambulance after ambulance came racing by, people frantically trying to make way for them (the roads weren't really closed yet).   While there we heard someone who had been close say that the parade hadn't arrived yet and what seemed to have happened was that a car from the other side came onto the roundabout and simply never turned. "It's a massive drama over there, unbelievable", he said.   Quite quickly rumours started spreading of course, the first one turned out to be true: a middle aged (local) woman was behind the wheel and seems to have become unwell. Local security camera showed the car going at high speed right before the roundabout.   Plenty of rumours going around in terms of who were involved of course, and people keeping each other up to date to see if they know this or that family and such...   Never expected my little town to be big news in the Netherlands, even including some breaking broadcasts, live reporters and everything, damn. By far the biggest thing to happen here in my memory  
    • This is the home town of our very own @heywooduand @brunamoura    
    • For me, these were very good Olympics, and British sport benefited greatly from them, and is still benefiting. I fear it will be much worse here. Canada also benefited very good on Vancouver 2010 – this is very good see in the medal standings of subsequent Winter Games after 2010 and earlier.
    • Nobody hates Britain more than the British media so… I recall it being quite a pessimistic tone before the London games started.
    • I'm curious what was written before London 2012? Did they attack their own country, or did they just keep quiet?
    • Other winners at the PanAm Sports Awards Junior 2025            
    • Very true point.  Although I think at this point everyone is just holding their collective breath until the test event.  The NHL isn't going to rage anymore until then because it's not like that would make the arena progress go any quicker
