He’s currently beating people on ICC, and has yet to finish outside the top 20 I believe...

 

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.

He is a legitimate slider though, which is what my original post was about. 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.

Why are we talking about skeleton in the bobsleigh thread again btw?  

 

IBSF is missing from the title. Of course we got confused.

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

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.

Here’s some background to that Jamaican athlete that died a few weeks ago.
