Robatcher wins! Assuming there is no second run.

that is a serious threat!

 

by the way, I wouldn't be so proud of a win like this...it's more than a farce...

For now it's delayed.

 

But in the past they cancelled races with less snow...

yes, first world cup win since February 11th, 1996 (when Gerda won in Sankt Moritz)...

fun fact...in the 1997/1998 season, Gerda won the overall world cup without a single race victory...

then she shifted to Bobleigh...

This is the first win on a German track for a non-German female luger since :AUT Andrea Tagwerker won in Koenigsee in November 1997!

I'll never complain about that streak getting broken! :lol:

It would have been more fair if they let the second run happen.

not fully convinced...they'd rather call the day off with such weather condition...

it was unfair for most of the riders and it could have become dangerous, too...

    • writing here because it's going to heavily impact on the Olympics, but it's part of a way bigger blow for many sports in Italy    earlier Today, the Italian idiots running the government did change the rules about getting the Italian citizenship because of the heritage (ius sanguinis) now, only foreigners with at least 1 parent or grandfather/grandmother born in Italy will be able to ask for our citizenship now all those people with the Italian heritage coming from men/women further down the family tree won't get it because of that (of course they will still be able to earn it following the remaining pathways, like marriage or living here for at least 5 consecutive years -if coming from EU Nations, 10 if coming from outside EU)   this is basically the end of any chance to have an Italian competitive team in all those team sports where there are not enough athletes practicing within our Country like ice hockey, field hockey, baseball, cricket, lacrosse, flag football and even rugby (just to name the olympic sports), all disciplines where we always relied on major help from foreign born Italians   but this soon will affect also a few individual sports, when the consequences of the pandemic stoppage will come into effect (soon)   for this thread's purpose, it' obvious that now we won't have any chance to have a decent hockey team at the 2026 Home Olympics; we are forced to stay with the current shameful B division bunch of drunk players that can't even skate
    • NOC's qualified for the free dance (and eligible for earn Olympic quotas):    x3  x3  x2  x2  x2  x2   20 teams qualified but only 19 will earn quotas.
    • Maybe now the sport news and people here can do a little less celebration the next time a russian figure skater has their own disaster.Karma is a thing in sports too apparently,just had to get a bite in that a russian representing georgian had a disaster that opened the door for one of our own to the olympics.And now our main pair fall,whoops.
    • it took two Olympics (and 4 years) for UWW to finally realize there is a big big flaw in their current rules (we have this since early 2021)   in Greco-Roman, in high level specially in heavier weights it's just hard to score. in this case sometimes the match ends up 1-1. (1 pt for passivity caution for each) under current rules lots of wrestlers decide to be intentionally passive in first 2 minutes to receive the first caution. this created lots of ugly scenes in Olympics. for example  Yasmani Acosta won an Olympic silver in Paris without doing a thing! he was passive in his 3 pre-final matches and won all of them 1-1    UWW will test a new rule at the European Championship next week, only in case of 1-1 and only in Greco-Roman whoever gets the first point wins. I believe this will become an official rule soon, they should make this change long time ago but yet late is better than never   https://uww.org/article/uww-test-new-greco-rule-2025-european-championships
    • are my favorites for the time being.    could definitely grow on me as well. There's very few songs I'd count out before I get the chance to see them during the live shows.     P.S. "Baller"  would play at a trendy shop in LA, and I would enjoy it  
    • Yes, correct. Anyway still not officially confirmed by our NOC though
    • They failed to qualify for the free dance by *0.01* points.
    • Massive upset by :LTU Ambruleviciud/Reed scoring 20 points less than usual after a fall and failing to qualify to Olympics. Massive blow and shock as they were basically almost guaranteed top10 
    • 64.83m from 16 YEAR OLD Ziyi Yan  for a new world junior javelin record.....which she already owned.
    • Technically, we have a few more confirmed quotas: Alpine Skiing - 2 Biathlon - 4 Cross-Country Skiing - 3
