Not like anyone cares about :POL luge (unless the infamous ranking for countries without an actual luge track) but Chmielewsk/Kowalewski duo is over since Chmielewski said he wants something different and send Kowalewski on the proverbial kitty litter :whistle:

Nice summer update from Felix Loch from the flood-destroyed track at Konigsee.  Reconstruction is in full swing, on schedule for a November reopening & a World Cup in 2026.  Big congratulations to

Late changes to the Luge Calendar.  The Igls event has been moved to Winterberg - there has been rebuilding work at Igls and the Luge people were not happy.  Bobsleigh/skeleton OTOH are fine with it.

Any regulation on AIN participation and qualification? I cannot find it at all.

And I notice that efforts are underway to reimagine the sport formerly known as natural track luge.  First, change the name!  It's now called Alpine Luge and various other race format reforms are being implemented.  Hope it works, it definitely deserves to be in the Olympics - more so that cross country running and cyclo-cross etc.

I am very surprised that it was not broadcasted.

As far as I understand these results are counted to Olympic qualification instead of the fiest stage of the World Cup.

Think it was organised at the last minute, so no coverage.   And they are taking these results rather than Winterberg x 2, which would obviously be unfair.

Yes, I am with that too. But looks like FIL is in total chaos right now.

I don't think we will know until they publish something, so far nothing. We also don't know if all the russian (or AIN) athletes can qualify, or just one per event like in other sports. Hopefully they will tell us soon.

      Yep, that was really unfortunate, but well, such things happens. Anyway this amount of lugers is really impressive.   Congrats and good luck at the Games

      Yeah, Qualifying a team for the summer olympics is completely out of the question. Not going to happen for a long time. In Sydney 2000 we had 3 teams W Basketball, M Football & M Water Polo, it was already insane and this was even in a totally different era. Nowadays it is just Utopian. We have none to be at a high level in Europe to aspire for a qualification to the Olympics.   W Handball is really the most obvious chance in a long shot. The U17 girls showed last summer that it is possible, who knows maybe in Brisbane if the planets allign well.    Paris 2024 was a nightmare I do not want to remember. The worst games I experienced in my life. point.

      Khm, do we know the fate of the  license in pairs? I did not see confirmation of their entry.   If they fail  must get full license (team + individual) and one more place for team event will be available, am I correct?

      Honestly, we did not expect more than 8. 2 additional places happened just becaues your double could not grab it due to the injury(?).

      Vivat Slovakia    But in all seriousness, it's been repeatedly stated how important it is to qualify in a team event for the next Summer Olympics. However, I have no idea if we even have a realistic chance.   We only have one fewer individual athlete competing this year than we did in Paris, so individual quota spots aren't the main issue. Where can we find a competitive team, like we do in hockey? Maybe the women's handball team could start something big, but that's still far in the future, very likely unachievable in just two years.   And to be clear, as horrific as our medal tally from Paris looked, those were some of the unluckiest Olympics for Slovakia I have ever seen. Finishing in the top six seven times (!) is absolutely insane.
