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:

    • Those hurt, especially not one but two countries that have never missed a single contest likely missing out now     Where did everyone go?   Edit: I see Slovenia is in, that's fantastic news! Brazil though...   I think I'm going to ask if @brunamoura wants to come up with a song, despite really not having lots of time for it due to training and work. With some luck, she can listen the playlist on Spotify during training or something and get a bit of a sense of which songs she likes. If that's acceptable for people of course, I can perfectly imagine people wouldn't be too happy with that since we literally share a household and it might be seen as a conflict of interest (although anyway I always only tell her my favourite songs after I sent my votes).
    • Announcement:   I'm going to extend the deadline for countries submission to Monday 30th September at 23:58 BST, with the voting now not opening to the public until Wednesday 2nd October at 23:58 BST. I felt this was necessary to do due to the lack of nations + the lack of some of the major players and not due to me failing to come up with an entry (@Vektor) that I will be posting after this announcement. This will be the last deadline that is moved, with the only dates potentially moving being the final dates. 
    • looking at the  Junior WCH (U-20) results so far, seems like USA is gearing up. the target would be to challenge China in LA 2028 and snatch few gold medals here and there.   p.s: China is not participating in Junior WCH     I am wondering if we can see USA in good shape in Bahrain WCH too 
    • Is Trump becomes President is he really going to let in the likes of Iran if they qualify. Fifa could protest if he won’t but sort of cancelling it they don’t have much leeway. 
    • SLOVENIA  Magnifico - Hir aj kam hir aj go     Robert Pešut, better known as Magnifico is one of most established Slovenian singers. He started his solo career more than 30 years ago.   Few weeks ago, he celebrated this jubilee with special concert in front of more than 20.000 people on special site in Ljubljana. Maybe does not seem a lot, but here there were not many concerts played with that crowd.   He is known for his special type of humour in his music and lyrics. Around 20 years ago he sold album Export Import, from which most known song is "Hir aj kam hir aj go", which was received well in other countries, especially in Italy.   Just another fact, Magnifico wrote two Eurovision songs, Sestre - Samo Ljubezen (Only Love) in 2002 and also for Montenegrin performer Rambo Amadeus (Euro Neuro).   He tried himself to perform at Eurovision, but with his still very well known "Silvija", ended 5th in EMA 1998 (Slovenia National Final).   SONG LYRICS  
    • Oh how I’ve missed Canucks hockey, Silovs with another beauty of a save      
    • Round of 16 - September 24th    1 - 3     5 - 0 
    • Think I'm gonna extend the deadline to another day, we've got plenty of time to spare and I shouldn't take too long to vote. 
    • Today it was Olof’s 4th birthday. Love you my sweet boy.
