Yes, but no 4-men which is the prpblematic one.

 

Maybe they plan to remove 4-men anyway, in the name of gender equality...

That is true, but I believe they're already looking into it (with governmental support)

"The Latvian government has also commissioned a survey on the scale and type of renovations required should Stockholm win the 2026 bid".

I’d be down for monobob over four-man. More nations, more driving focused racing

My Plan B’s:

Ushnia (Argentina) 2026

New Zealand 2026

Sochi 2026 (but this time we do it right)

Los Angeles/Wrightwood/Big Bear 2026 (my dream)

Dude. Add an event that's made for the youth athletes (monobob), ok, but stay away from the main event of bobsleigh.

the only unnamed plan B (which is well in IOC's mind) is Beijing going back-to-back...:evil: (:facepalm:)

 

it would be the beginning of the end for the Winter Games, but still, that's the only real option to save the 2026 edition, should things go from bad to worse for the 3 official candidates...:cry:
