I hear that luge announcer is still pronouncing all non-English names as if they were Germans.

 

"Jakub Zimonak"

 

It's luge. If you're not saying things - including names - in a heavy German accent, you're doing it wrong.

Cool to hear how Sweeney finds sprint boring.

 

So it's not just us fans being buzz-killers.

Luge needs a mixed relay.

 

"But there is the team event!"

 

No, I mean a relay. Handing over the baton halfway down the track sounds like it's going to be anything but boring

Good run for Kevin and Dom Fishnaller, lst's hoping in a good 2nd run

[heywoodu 15,145]

Yet another unusual result even for Igls, compared to previous seasons: Repilov from 16th to the podium

And a new winner in the World Cup scene with Jonas Müller

Cool, pregnant Dajana Eitberger is in the forerunner team for the team event  

[hckošice 14,835]

so 9th place is apparently the best result ever for Slovaaaahhhkia the "eastern european" country that finished two times in 5th places before.

The italian victory in the team event was completly unexpected

Two DNF's and Daria Obratov  are the only ones not making it out of the Nation Cup. So Dania Obratov  is in   (with a much, much worse result than last week, but fine)
