So tonight's race was streaming fine on YouTube until the two British sliders right at the end where the stream cut out a message came up "This stream has been suspended for policy violations" then came back on after the race was over.

Was this a UK thing or did it happen everywhere?

It's happened in Italy too, honestly it was ridiculous... I missed both end of the event.

Ice making machines at the Winterberg track only just keeping pace with the warm conditions.

Always good to see a rain & melting track second run every now & then.

@heywoodu & @Jinzha will probably make themselves a little happier if they watch today’s Women’s Skeleton race. No spoilers.

meanwhile my hype is already gone...

 

you can have the best coach, trainer and sled manufacturer in the world, but if the drivers are just a bunch of sheep, you don't go anywhere...

Can’t judge anything from a rainy, wet second run race!

naaa...you clearly see that Margaglio hasn't improved by any mean...she's way faster than any other at the start, but she just can't drive. 

 

it's not a question of cold/warm, rainy/snowy/sunny, unfortunately. 

 

maybe Bagnis will have a chance in a fair condition race (but how many will we have from now on? climate change is not a theory), but the women, my dear Lord!

Hmmph, just happened again!

Great day for  Kimberley Bos. Came from 11th after round one to win.  Sometimes happens in weather-affected races, very, very seldom on clear days.
