Sungbin Yun was much more convincing two years before, plus he actually always had a strong start. :p

I am well aware and it ain't looking so bright, but I'm not one to give up on my hypes that easily :banana:

Is there any live streaming? I'd love to watch Skeleton, Luge and Bobsleigh competitions.

You, sir, have stumbled upon one of the world's best (groups of) sports in terms of watching it both live AND on-demand :bowdown: :cheer:  As phelps explained

Watching today's competitions in La Plagne, where they're back after quite some years. I don't remember seeing this track before but I love it :yikes:

 

It's so....smooth, big, fast, awesome!

I guess it was just more romantic (like all tracks) back when it wasn't fully hidden under the roof.

No doubt about that, much like in speed skating where the tracks that are the best to watch are the rare outdoor tracks. I just very much like the whole layout though, roof or not.

Ya, it’s a good track. They went a couple years before Sochi but they had to stop for a while because the Sochi track hired the La Plagne icemaster for the 2014 Olympics.

Victory for Jungk. Future Olympic champions were off the pace, even with Lake Placid supposedly being like their home track. ;)

 

And there's Geng Wenqiang's first ever podium, tied with Yun for 3rd.

Amadeo Bagnis. Italy might have a slightly smaller advantage compared to South Korea and China, because I'm guessing an Italian track is going to be used for more international competitions than those two, but still. Bagnis is on fire lately, very impressive 11th in his World Cup debut and yesterday he won his second consecutive Europe Cup race. Plus he's still really young.

    • I'll post significant changes periodically. I'll start with the recently added/updated documents.   Archery The addition of mixed compound (12M & 12W) forced a reduction on the recurve side. The mixed compound quotas are distributed as follows   Host - 1 World Championships - 3 Continental Games - 5 World Ranking List - 2 Final Qualifier - 1   To compensate the team events will now only have 8 nations. 2 quotas were removed from the World Ranking List and 2 were removed from the Final Qualifier.   Individual recurve and mixed recurve distribution is the same
    • In Rome, it would be useful to roof the swimming pool complex at Foro Italico, possibly with the option of retracting the roof and covering the tennis court complex. Overall, there's a lot to do, for example, compared to Budapest, but unfortunately, this is Italy How many years has Roma been building their new stadium, and they keep pushing back the completion date- now I read it's 2030? and it should be ready. The same goes for Milan- there should be a modern complex of indoor swimming pools with 50 meters pools, etc., but there's a problem with one stupid football stadium, which will only be built after an ultimatum from UEFA
    • and Artistic Gymnastics is "Sporting Gymnastics" while Rythmic Gymnastics is god know why "Modern Gymnastics"

    • We call it beauty skating, if we're using the literal translation. 
    • Our delegation are a bit surprised there no chairs nor tables in the rooms though  You not use tables in Italy ?

    • impossible, there are not enough venues in both towns and I mean, Milan doesn't have an Olympic Stadium, a decent Tennis Complex and a big Swimming Complex (not to mention the sea) Rome, on the other hand, doesn't have a Rowing/Canoeing Basin nor arenas and stadiums for the team sports beyond football and rugby there's no chance that all those venues would be built from scratch, meanwhile if we use both cities we already have almost everything we need, especially the most expensive and controversial sites
    • New pole vault world lead and huge pb of 4.88by Hana Moll on her birthday yesterday .
    • https://nypost.com/2026/01/31/sports/team-canada-skeleton-coach-joe-cecchini-speaks-out-after-american-katie-uhlaender-manipulation-claim/   Oh the drama....   Cecchini: “I don’t really wanna speak negatively about Katie, but Katie was not on the World Cup team. She wasn’t a top-tier athlete in that program anymore. She was at the end of her career. I would personally would rather race against Katie. She’s not as competitive as the other athletes,” he said. “It’s probably really unfair to say and not really where I want to go with this but that’s where we are with that.”   Uhlaender: “If I were Canada, I would be concerned in how this coach is representing the Olympic values for his country,” Uhlaender told Fox News Digital. “He hurt a whole field of athletes, all with dreams, and this sends the message that they don’t matter unless they are number one. All athletes matter, and we all deserve to compete fairly, with integrity, and respect. He did not respect anyone in that field. “This is not about my resume or how good the athletes were in the race. This is about the fact that he intentionally manipulated the competition to hurt myself and 13 other countries because he felt it necessary to eliminate all possibility. That is against the spirit of sport and not what the Olympic movement represents.”   Isn't it great when other people's dirty laundry is aired?  /sarcasm     (I was a little surprised to see NPR pick this up, but per this article, Uhlaender preemptively recorded the phone call after receiving a text from Cecchini that said he had 'bad news' for her.)
