This weekend in Pyeongchang he finished 20th, and that's a track on which he has more experience than most... In fact, he only finished ahead of 46-year old Luxembourgian, 50-year old Kiwi and some random South African golfer. He is not competitive at all. He finished dead last at the Olympics, and was losing 3+ seconds on every single run. #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He looks fine on the sled, and his lines aren’t completely terrible. That’s why I’m sad they got rid of the Continental spots. “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

If IBSF is added, can we open a thread to talk about national races and so on for two posts a year?

heywoodu 13,565 Posted April 1, 2020 #66 Share Posted April 1, 2020 Next season won't end with the world championships anymore. These will be from 1-14 February, followed by a World Cup in Park City (15-20 February).....and then the first Beijing World Cup from 8 to 14 March! FFS, that's nearly a month between the last two World Cups, good job in killing the rhythm of the season.
