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:

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:

    • Canoe Sprint There is a now a cap of 5 athletes per gender in the kayak events (down from 6 in 2024). The World Championships has been replaced by the Olympic Qualification Rankings.   K2 lost 2 boat quotas while K4 has gained 1 boat quota. Quota distribution is quite complicated as it usually is for canoe sprint. They also force nations to compete in a minimum number of events based on the number of athletes qualified; 2 and 3 athletes per boat class must compete in 2 events, 4 must compete in all 3 events and 5 must compete in all 3 events and have two entries in the K1 event.
    • Wrestling will have a completely new format, I do not like the changes. ranking isn't really a good idea in this sport, this will force wrestlers to compete in so many events to collect points. which is not good for their health. specially with the current UWW ranking points distribution system which is plain stupid   they are also gifting 18 quotas to very weak countries by that last qualification event. but I understand their point of view. can't wait to see lots of Russian wrestlers compete for weak countries for that 1 available quota.
    • Canoe Slalom Quotas from men's/women's K1 have been moved to men's/women's KX1. K1 will now have 14 quotas while KX1 will have 10 quotas. C1 remains at 17 quotas. Athletes may participate in other events up to a maximum of 2 athletes per NOC.   The World Championship qualifier has been dropped in favour of the Olympic Qualification Rankings (7 K1, 10 C1, 3 KX1), afterwards you have the Continental Qualifiers (1 per boat) and then a new Global Qualifier (2 per boat).   There were a few changes regarding ways to ensure an athlete can only obtain 1 quota. The biggest being at each stage the boat priority is K1 > KX1 > C1 for the rankings and KX1 > K1 > C1 for the continental/global qualifiers. This basically means if the same athlete qualifiers in multiple boats then the quota will be given to the kayak over canoe.    
    • I'll post significant changes periodically. I'll start with the recently added/updated documents.   Archery The addition of mixed compound (12M & 12W) forced a reduction on the recurve side. The mixed compound quotas are distributed as follows   Host - 1 World Championships - 3 Continental Games - 5 World Ranking List - 2 Final Qualifier - 1   To compensate the team events will now only have 8 nations. 2 quotas were removed from the World Ranking List and 2 were removed from the Final Qualifier.   Individual recurve and mixed recurve distribution is the same
    • In Rome, it would be useful to roof the swimming pool complex at Foro Italico, possibly with the option of retracting the roof and covering the tennis court complex. Overall, there's a lot to do, for example, compared to Budapest, but unfortunately, this is Italy How many years has Roma been building their new stadium, and they keep pushing back the completion date- now I read it's 2030? and it should be ready. The same goes for Milan- there should be a modern complex of indoor swimming pools with 50 meters pools, etc., but there's a problem with one stupid football stadium, which will only be built after an ultimatum from UEFA
    • and Artistic Gymnastics is "Sporting Gymnastics" while Rythmic Gymnastics is god know why "Modern Gymnastics" 
    • and a brief look to Cortina village    
    • We call it beauty skating, if we're using the literal translation. 
    • Our delegation are a bit surprised there no chairs nor tables in the rooms though  You not use tables in Italy ?
