This event will be a joke.

 

Canada is apparently completely skipping this. In fact, most WC stages of this season have had more entries than we'll see in Sochi this weekend.

looking at this qualification races (and at all the training runs of the past 2 days), it seems that this year Germany won't have a very good time...at least in both singles' events (and possibly in the team Relay)...

 

the doubles races, instead, are only Eggert/Benecken to lose...they look to slide on another planet...

 

for Italy, D-Fisch and Rieder/Kainzwaldner way better than expected...hope they can steal a couple of medals...

it's in Russia...you know...politics...

 

and however, we all know that the Sochi track technically always produce farcical races because of the temperatures and the awful ice conditions...we can't expect it to have changed from the recent past...

Canada has also pretty much skipped non-Russian events and they've been very clear about the reason since the beginning: the team is extremely young and they don't want to make the mistake of bringing them under too much pressure too fast. Walker/Snith could have been there though, but the whole Canadian luge program has been having major financial struggles, so I doubt they wanted to spend too much for one doubles team to go there.

I'm feeling worried about my doubles prediction, but absolutely confident about my women's prediction  

[heywoodu 15,147]

Well, Nagler and Malleier now know what not to do for the main event later on  

[heywoodu 15,147]

Denisev/Antonov, right. Jayson Terdiman has been saying all season how they're gonna win gold here, let's see
