Winterberg weather coming into play? It looks that way.

 

sure...I've never seen a race in Winterberg not affected by weather conditions...

when it's cold, there are issues with wind and ice conditions...when it's warm, no need to say that's always a lottery...and when it's snowy, not only it's a mess, it's also a very dangerous track...

tbh, they should get rid of that track...actually, they should have done it a long, long time ago...

 

p.s. and yeeesssss!!!!! it's not gonna be 7 out of 7 for Germany...:rofl::raspberry:

I guess some heads are gonna swirl tonight in the German camp...:whistle:

Sadly we have this problem since the retirement of Armin :(

 

well, the problem goes back some more time...

Armin was just a flash in the dark...we don't have a dominating team since the mid-Nineties...no good women after Weissensteiner's switch to Bobsleigh, promising Doubles that never got what it was expected from them...and the Fisch cousins that are so inconsistent from time to time...

nothing seems to have worked out as it should have been in the last 20 years (apart from Armin's amazing career, of course)...:facepalm:

At least Italy is still a powerhouse in Natural Track luge. :whistle:

 

yeah, but those idiots of the IOC prefer to have senseless events that barely exist since a couple of years rather getting that historical discipline into the Olympic program...:facepalm::wall:

 If Milano-Cortina wins the candidacy to host the 2026 Winter Olympics, it would be a perfect time to introduce this discipline to the Olympic program. IOC could cut the many new mixed events and give the quotas to NT luge.

there was already an attempt to put the NT Luge in the Olympic program in 2006...and it didn't go well at all...

and then they made an even more serious effort with Beijing 2022, but once again the request was rejected big time...

I think all the possible efforts have already been done...I don't see NT Luge coming to the Games in 2026, too...unfortunately...:cry::facepalm::wall:
