I know...

 

I was just joking...

 

Actually it was exactly my thought as well.

Moldova made the main race.

 

Also, looks like a certain Dutch athlete may have found herself some decent equipment...

Taubitz isn't exactly stepping up yet.

Which one of the sisters? When I checked they seemed to still be a country mile behind in the Nations Cup..

What kind of nonsense is this?

I am so confused by this result

The sisters?  qualified in Men's Doubles. However, everyone except a Chinese pair qualified. They were second to last, only beating a Austrian pair.

usual Igls result...those starting early had a big track advantage...

 

and many girls made big driving mistakes here and there (Voetter managed to completely mess up the start, just to make an example)...

 

overall, not a good 1st run for Russia and Germany (despite Tiebel's being currently in 2nd place) in particular...

 

however, this women's world cup season announces itself to be quite interesting (at least on the tracks outside Germany...on their races, I expect also girls like Taubitz and Tiebel on top of the rankings...

But I quoted @dcro, who said "Also, looks like a certain Dutch athlete may have found herself some decent equipment..."  

 

Now, there's only two Dutch athletes in luge at the moment, which he'll definitely know of since they both came over from Croatia a year and a half ago or so. But I didn't really see any improvement there
