Austrian team will boycott the Winterberg stage. Apparently the track's profile was damaged in stormy mild weather conditions this week, what caused several nasty crashes in training.

 

FIL must be run by a bunch of idiots at this point. Every season they put this horrid Winterberg track at the most inappropraite point of the season. :facepalm: Granted, this year there was no Winter in Europe, but nevertheless, Winterberg should only ever be scheduled in mid-January. That's it.

 

 

 

Day 1

Aparjods and Aparjode

The entire Ukrainian top team (best man, woman and doubles)

Sochowicz

Maag

Ferlazzo

Cretu

Jung

Slovak doubles

 

Day 2

Aparjode again

Ukrainian doubles again

Nagler/Malleier twice (!)

Jung again and again

Korean doubles

Triple DNS for all four German sleds

Müller

D Gleirscher followed by total DNS' of all Austrians

 

Yeah those trainings were quite something :p

Sorry. I thought you meant Moldova when you wrote "a country mile behind in the Nations Cup"?    I will now leave this thread...

Not only the Austrian team will boycott, the German doubles aren't going to start the race - none of them, Eggert/Benecken have even already left Winterberg. Felix Loch has also announced he won't be starting.

 

Biggest victim of the training seems to be Stepan Fedorov, who broke a leg.

Well, now we know who are the parasites of the luge scene (meaning everyone on start lists for tomorrow in spite of it all). :dunno:

That's a bit harsh I think. If I were a luger who had rather normal training runs without too many problems and I'd feel I could compete tomorrow, I wouldn't let yet another German-led decision change my plans (apart from cancellation obviously).

 

If they're not going to cancel the races, it should be up to each luger whether or not they want to start. Whether or not they should cancel it is another discussion, considering all the problems - and the fact I've already got plenty of stuff to watch :hairpull: - I wouldn't be against it.

so, they are all parasites except for the Germans themselves (those who always put this farce on the schedule, trying to get advantage of these conditions as much as they can) and a few Austrians...:evil::whistle:

By the way, apart from Loch and the doubles, all Germans are on the start lists, pretty much.

 

Also no Mazdzer/Terdiman who DNS'ed in today's Nations Cup.

Luckily FIL is finally reading to start taking some responsibility.

 

Spoiler

Hahahaha.

 

Quote

Winterberg (RWH) The President of the International Luge Federation (FIL), Josef Fendt of Germany, has announced that it is issuing a penalty to Summer Britcher. The reason for the US athlete’s penalty was her unsporting behaviour towards the FIL during proceedings at the Viessmann World Cup in Winterberg. The FIL Presidium will decide on the exact penalty at a later date but Fendt added that the disciplinary measure was inevitable. Summer Britcher posted a discreditable photograph on social media.

 

During Team Captains Meeting on Friday (February 22, 2020), Bill Taveres, Head coach of the US team, apologized this behaviour officially.

God I love Summer. She’s a really fun athlete to follow on social media. Same can be said for Mazdzer.

      apparently this medical report saying XY  is fake made by a stupid journalist ,the tribunal is waiting him      Olympic boxer Imane Khelif takes legal action over male chromosomes claims   She is preparing a lawsuit in response to the latest reporting,” an IOC spokesperson said. “The IOC will not comment while legal action is ongoing, or on media reports about unverified documents whose origin cannot be confirmed.”

      20240930_MiCo2026 Comp Schedule Version 6 Final NO CODES.pdf   Here is the latest version of the schedule that now shows up on the official website. Contains a bit more information than the previous version. As for start times, the only difference I can see is that the ice dance rhythm dance starts 5 minutes earlier at 19:15 instead of 19:20.

      I think it's already slowly happening. These things happen on their own, not because someone decides to.

      [OFF TOPIC] Politics Thread

      By copravolley · Posted

      The think about you writing about is rarer but that doesn't mean that you can belittle, for example, Obama, who won twice in a row. What was he supposed to do at that time? Deliberately lose in 2012 so he could run in 2016? He couldn't have run more than twice. In Trump's case, it's more the downfall of the USA itself: first of all, the lack of credible and capable leaders at a younger age. After all, what happened in 2020 in elections was a parody: two old guys (one with dementia, the other clown with numerous court judgments). Then you wonder why Putin and the leader from China aren't afraid of the USA, since they have such incompetent people as opponents. It hurts me a lot because in the 90s I admired the USA and Clinton was a role model od modern leader in Europe and now? Looking at their elections and their leaders I just smile bitterly.
