dcro 10,210 Posted February 15, 2020 #72 Share Posted February 15, 2020 Early starters were really slow. Guess they haven't cranked up the refrigiration back then. #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcro 10,210 Posted February 15, 2020 #75 Share Posted February 15, 2020 Track record for Ivanova. Quick, turn off the refrigiration. Monzanator 1 #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcro 10,210 Posted February 15, 2020 #76 Share Posted February 15, 2020 (edited) And I'm guessing it happened. All of a sudden nobody is going sub-50, while Ivanova went 49.6! Also, Farquharson, who went just before ivanova, is the only other athlete with sub-50 run. Edited February 15, 2020 by dcro #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcro 10,210 Posted February 15, 2020 #77 Share Posted February 15, 2020 (edited) Gleirscher winning the Olympics was fun and all. Pyeongchang was a neutral track, and Gleirscher a total outsider who only got selected at the last moment. Katnikova sweeping this is just... meh. She is just milking the home advantage beyond belief. That's some vintage Germanesque domination.

Maybe the Austrians don't since everyone and their mother trains at Igls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's ask LugeAnnouncer about the refrigeration thing today If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

dcro 10,210 Posted February 16, 2020 #80 Share Posted February 16, 2020 Russia getting DQ'd from the relay is the worst possible thing that could have happened to those predictors who have followed the season. #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
