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)

Dania was already bad last week.

Not 2.8 seconds back bad though (and yes, different track, but that difference is huge even compared to last week).

 

I wonder what happened to Daria though, almost three seconds more behind than last week.

 

Last, but not least: never ever give your children a name with only one letter difference, it's so confusing.

Nice to see the both Šimoňák siblings qualified again maybe we still can have some future also in this sport

Nice and frosty in Lake Placid, should be less unpredictable than last week.

 

ie the Germans will win everything.

 

Lot fewer competitors, though, not every can afford it.

Lake Placid is so old school tight it should work against the Germans actually?

I was joking a bit, but I think they’ll win this one.  Women later will be different, though.  Looks like an exciting open year for them.

Well, didn’t think we’d see mid-ranking teams making up second-run ground, but Sics & Sics are doing exactly that....

 

Oi, huge crash for the Americans.  Phew, they walk away.

Lordy, Polish girl just hit every wall on the track, was at one point going sideways - and still was faster than Team Oranje,

Yeah, I can't believe the Dutch are actually investing hard money in these "refugees".
