Nah, betting on luge (and bobsleigh/skeleton) is usually only possible during the Olympics at the international bookmakers and even then only on a few of them. During World Cup seasons I've only ever seen it at Russian Marathonbet. Taubitz might not drive as perfectly as Geisenberger, she'll be the top German athlete which is always an advantage and she's still just better than most others.

He doesn't want to be a bad prophet, but for the entire toboggan society, Germany should stop developing its technological progress for some time.

Also no Sandra Robatscher in at least the first half of the season, due to injury.

All my favorite sledges will not start right away. What a bad luck

:ITA Emanuel Rieder is out indefinitely because of a broken finger in his left foot...:cry::facepalm:

 

after Robatscher, Italy lose for quite a while another piece of their (already slim) puzzle...

 

not the start of the season we expected...:nopompom:

What part of the puzzle would Rieder have been though? He's behind both Fischnaller's normally, so in terms of the relay it doesn't matter much and frankly I doubt it'll have much influence on Italy's general World Cup performance..

surely he's not our top guy (luckily we have someone better than him), but he's one of the 3 safe starters in our men's team...now we only have 2 left (unless Zoeggeler changes his mind and goes with youngster Theo Gruber...but he normally doesn't like to rush his plans...and Gruber is not yet a world cup team full member)...

Apparently :RUS closed Paramonovo. I was under the impression that it was still used, but it hasn’t been used in the last few years apparently.

It was deemed too unsafe to keep it going. ;)

    • I love that it is more straightforward in relation to the number of quotas and does not allow possible problems as it was in Tokyo and Paris.
    • I love the judo qualification system, for me is the best in all disciplines. It combines a strong circuit, and it allows 100 or so countries to participate in.   So, maybe, if UWW does its job properly, it will be a good thing.
    • China Media Group (CMG) will broadcast all 116 gold medal events of the Milan Winter Olympics live on CCTV-1, CCTV-5, CCTV-5+ and CCTV-16. It will also use technologies such as 4K/8K ultra-high definition to enhance the viewing experience. Live broadcasts of all events will be carried out from 16:00 Beijing time to 06:00 the next day.
    • The strength of the UK is that they are 100% focused on the track, while Italy must to navigate between the track and the road: the line-up is different for practically every event, etc. Paternoster should focus 100% on the track; she won't win anything big on the road anymore. As it is, she's weak both there and there. The situation is different with Balsamo, as she's also having significant success on the road and likely earns the most money there.
    • Discovery+ in the UK have also got their schedule up now.     I notice that only thing listed as being in UHD is the Opening Ceremony though....     
    • The problem over the last few years was that no-one was able to keep pace with the big Katie Archibald turns. Looks to be sorted now.  
    • The women's top 50 is so crammed with athletes from the same five nations that it is not inconceivable they are unable to fill the full quota from the top 50, in which case a third double spot would open up between USA/BEL/GBR
    • That women's pursuit team looks brutally fast. Batter you over the head into submission brutal, perhaps not seen since the early Trott-Rowsell days The 4 minute barrier could be on borrowed time.   The two British women sprinters Finucane and Caldwell also look pretty ominous, indeed the whole women's sprint team looks in some shape and with some depth to get that result without Finucane   Work to do for the British men's teams, but they won't be unhappy either, not to mention Joe Truman's unexpected Kilo win.
    • I prefer to do mine like this guy (https://app.podiumsport.it/) does his "Projected Medals" as probability based rather than straight medal picking... all things being equal, conversion rates should be about the same and the outliers come out in the wash. Unfortunately most people just like medal picking, and think any other approach is weird  
    • So probably: Men Oceania: Americas: Africa: Asia: One of  Europe: One of Host: World Rankings: Combination of  (probably not)  and whichever countries don’t qualify from Asian Games.  Universality: ? Final Qualification Tournament: One of the above in World Rankings    and one of  (most likely) or  seem safe with two quotas. The other will be favourites if a third team gets allocated two.    Women Oceania: Europe: One of Americas:  /  if US is ineligible due to their host quota, if the host quota gets reallocated then Canada will be in contention in the rankings Africa:   Asia: One of   Host: World Rankings: Combination of  (x1?)  (x1/2)  (x1/2), whichever doesn’t qualify out of  / ,  and  ? Final Qualification Tournament: One of above.  Universality: ?    is safe with two quotas between  it’ll be tough for whoever misses out of those three.   nevermind ,
