3/5 teams failed to make exchange so far. Poland, Italy, Austria.

Technically for Italy it wasn't exchange but finish  And Russia (Ivanova) was very close to do the same.

 

The best result for Ukraine in history, I believe.

Bit late, but this was awesome  37 years old (?) and then getting your best ever result after 15 years or so in the World Cup  True showing of 'Never give up'

Technically it's not the best ever result. He had a podium last season (in Sigulda).

But since it's basically the same thing it should count.

Luge announcer always counts it.

Yes 37   he was really happy with his runs, great result for him and our luge, considering the whole situation of luge in Slovakia, the very bad funding and poor material equipement in comparison to the big nations this 5th place is quite a miracle.

 

btw speaking about Luge, worth to mention very promising results of our youngs at the Juniors European Championships last week, Veverčák/Zmij finished 4th in the doubles 0.019 behind the podium and our relay finished also in a beautiful 6th place.

 

+ Majo Skupek has absolutely epic season so far in the youth A category world cup, with 6 podiums already in all events he entered this winter so far (3-0-3)

and btw for the first time we entered a female doubles last week even if the result was not the greatest, but you have to debut somehow I guess.  and The goal for Bianka and Nicola is next year YOG
