What the hell. That dude could have been killed if it weren't for someone screaming his lungs out and yelling "GET OUT OF THE TRACK"

Same situation was at one of german tracks (can't remember which one) at this season Luge WC. I don't know what is going on with this workers this days...

Still, if I'd have to choose, I'd rather be hit by a luger than a 100+ km/h four-man sled :p

Well, I don't know about that. Be killed and don't fill anything or break legs and ride a wheelchair to the rest of life :p Remember that luger also rides more than 100 km/h, there are even faster than bobsleighs ;)

:FRA Heinrich 2nd! What a result! When was the last time when French was in top 3? And this second run of Lochner, what a poor start. I hoped that finally somebody will win with Friedrich in two-men.

 

 

Two man bobsleigh wize, that may very well be the best french performance ever.

 

Mingeon did won a few world cups but that was in four man bobsleigh.

Something similar also happened during training ahead of the Sochi Olympics, where a track worker was hit by a bobsleigh that was going at 80 km/h. The track worker got compound fractures to both his legs and a concussion. The Monaco sleight was going at 122 km/h when it nearly hit the track worker...

    • Marco Girardelli went to Luxembourg one day and he had a great career. I doubt he did regret that move.

    • You know, but we still don't know what that was about. Ceccarelli has a difficult character but still changing colors to a country with which you have absolute no connetions? What would you say if Iga Swiatek fell out with the Polish tennis federation and started playing for Luxembourg or Andorra? Certainly not everyone would decide to take such a step, even if they had to give in a little in talks with the federation.    Another thing is that the Italian training system simply doesn`t work. As you can see, there are talents but we don`t know how to train them. Since the golden generation born in 1990-1995 (Brignone, Bassino, Goggia) we haven`t trained anyone who would stand on the podium in giant slalom or slalom in World Cup. So something is wrong. At the beginning of the 21st century we had a large group of good giant slalom athletes (maybe not at Brignone's level): Karbon, Moelgg, Putzer, Gius, etc., who were able to win World Cups, win World Championship medals, etc. Now we have no one. Take women's giant slalom for example: if Brignone and Bassino are gone, even getting to the XX World Cup will be a problem for us.
    • I remember that Lara Gut's family also had a conflict with the Swiss federation at the beginning of her career around 2008/2009 but it was resolved. I remember that the family also wanted to have a greater influence on their daughter's career. It was probably similar here. If there was a will from both sides, an agreement should have been reached. Especially since Colturi has zero ties with Albania. Sinner could have played for Austria sooner, as a person from South Tyrol.
    • Berrettini defeated Kokkinakis in 3 set   And now, it's Sinner time.
    • Well, it was to be expected that Colturi was going to have a breakout result like that sooner or later and the state of Italian alpine skiing will create some very long faces. But hey, if Italy  let their "best" prospect walk because of money then it's their fault. If there was some personal feud between Ceccarelli & federation it's even worse.
