Every year I plan to watch more Natural Track Luge races, but never find the time.  Here's the year's schedule, anyway.

The Whistler world cup featuring the first instance of a relay that includes the women's doubles (with the order being women's single, men's double, men's single and women's double). Nine countries took part with a full team of six athletes.

Wonder if they’ll keep that format for the Winter Olympics? For the YOG, it’s both singles and then open doubles.

Guess so. It’s basically a way to force everyone to develop a women’s double.
