Igls, where the women's winner in the previous three World Cups was 2nd, 1st and 1st after the first run and the men's winner was 1st, 5th and 1st after one run :p 

 

 

 

because among the starters there were the 3 German stars of the last 10 years...

 

the other placings (and the other races apart for the women's) were almost always subject to the weather lottery and heavily influenced (falsed) by that...

Same thing went for the men in at least the last three years: nothing too weird or something at the top of the results in terms of movement.

So luge announcer started talking about possible new nations who can reach the podium. I thought he was ridiculous since that's pretty much impossible in luge, but then of course Run 1 ended with Poland claiming the lead. :lol:

Hopefully run 2 gets cancelled so that C/K get their first win (instead of dropping to 13th by the end). :p

 

This is some sick shit man.

Apparently Poland would have been the first new nation with a World Cup podium since Canada (Tyler Seitz got a 3rd in 2002 to open their account).

Poland’s program has been showing some real signs of improvement in the last three seasons. I think it might be a few years, but I can see them finding the podium if they continue to improve.

    • Despite total domination by the Norwegian men (and yes, it's exhausting and boring), the accomplishments this weekend of Emil Iversen and Einar Hedegart are worth highlighting, despite them being Norwegian.    Iversen was dropped by the Norwegian national team after the opener in Beitostølen 2 weeks ago and was not taken to Ruka. Instead, he won both the 10k and 20k Interval Classic starts in Gålå in the Norwegian Cup last week, which granted him a spot on the start line in Trondheim. He took full advantage of that opportunity and finished on the podium in the skiathlon, and finished just off the podium in today's 10k Interval Freestyle. This definitely puts his name in serious contention for a spot on the Olympic team, which looked incredibly doubtful just a few days ago.    Einar Hedegart, the 24-year-old biathlete who decided to challenge the stereotype that biathletes are inferior skiers to their cross-country counterparts, just won the 10k Interval Start against all of Norway's best in a de facto Olympic trial.    Yes, it's exhausting seeing nothing but Norwegian flags on the men's side, but there can be excitement just beneath the surface at times.

    • No single post about persecution of Christians in Africa, especially Nigeria. Looks like this topic doesn't interest fellow forum members.   
    • very poor championship...we only won the medal table with 20 medals (9 golds) and the points ranking with almost 200 points advantage over the second ranked team ()    try again, and you'll be luckier 
    • Who would have guessed these top-3 in the World cup standings After 3 races 😁   Minkinnen-Magnusson-Bened Botn-Samuelsson-Fillon Maillet
    • So  Jordan Stolz had himself a weekend with 3 track records:   33.905 500m 1:06.380 1000m 1:42.552 1500m   Those times would've put him in contention to medal in Salt Lake City and Calgary
