Interesting how a "guaranteed gold medalist" is struggling to be inside top 10 at Europe Cup. In one of the races he wasn't even the best Chinese.

Puerto Rican guy in last place deserves a mention. 

 

 

48 years old, he saw skeleton 16 years ago at the Olympics...and now he is finally making his international debut

Congratulations to the Chinese guy for winning the men's gold at Beijing 2022 and to the British 400 metre  hurdler at winning the women's gold medal.

I'm going to look really clever if this works out and nobody will remember if i'm wrong...

Nope, he attempted to qualify for Pyeongchang. And unless he is a fellow time traveller, this is not his debut.

Right, I only saw this so with 'debut' I meant that maybe he was gonna do more than one weekend of competition now
