nice...it's like the Swiss Biathlon team with the Gasparin sisters!

 

p.s. I still remember "Zoldo", a team in the Italian Hockey championship about 25/30 years ago...out of 20 players, there were like 15/16 all with the same Family name (Meneghetti)...

and they were actually all brothers and/or cousins to each other!

And future luge, where according to Arturs Darznieks it's only a matter of time before Latvia fields a Sics, Sics, Sics/Sics relay

well, Italy a few years ago could have easily sent an all-Huber team in Luge (if only the Team Relay was in the schedule at that time)...

Latvia will always be second in this case...

yeah, in the 3000m superfinal of the all-round global championships it happens once every while...

 

it's way more uncommon instead in the shorter individual distances...

 

it was nice to watch the race, in any case...something unusual is always welcome!

Plus I always, no matter which sport, love seeing athletes go to their limits and far, far beyond it, like Ren in those last laps  

 

I heard they called the Dresden fire department because his legs were setting the whole stadium on fire.

Bah! That is nothing! In the 1980 Moscow Olympics India fielded an all-Singh* 11 man field hockey team!

 

 

*Singh is not really a name though, but an honorary title give to Sikhs.

so, that's not to be taken into consideration...

 

otherwise you only need to fill a team made only of people with a PHD and you have a full "Dr." team...too easy!
