Mirela Rahneva destroys the track record on route to winning the second* #BMWIBSF World Cup race of the season in Park City, Utah. Defeated all four athletes who finished ahead of her at the Beijing Olympics (Hermann [GER]: 4th at the 2022 Olympics & WC 2nd, Bos [NED]: 3rd at the 2022 Olympics & WC 7th, Narracott [AUS]: 2nd at the 2022 Olympics & WC 18th, and Neise [GER] (1st at the 2022 Olympics & WC 6th)

If it wasn't for a bad run at the Olympics she could have medaled.

With her second run she was the 18th fastest, yeah that’s not going to cut it.

What a horrible start to the season for men and women. Hallie Clark was 20that the Asia Cup

Looks like Blake Enzie is retired (or taking the year off). No men was named to the World Cup team this year. What a drop of in this sport. Two straight gold medals in 2006-2010 to possibly no men qualifying for 2026. Embarrassing.

Rahneva announced her retirement too

 

Calgary shutting down is really showing with how empty the sliding cupboard is

Hallie Clarke wins gold at the Junior World Championships in St. Moritz, in complete dominance too, she was 0.88 ahead of her closest competitor Schmied (she has a lot of hype surrounding her)

Hallie Clarke sits in the bronze medal position after two of four runs in women’s skeleton at the IBSF World Championships! 
 

Really shocking considering how mediocre her results on the WC stage have been for the most part.
