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.

      it was NEVER an option, the arena is a completely private building, projected and constructed to make money with concerts    if someone with a lot of money to waste wants to establish a team in Milan, it's always possible: there are a small size arena (the Agorà, just to be renewed, if we only had a mayor capable of doing the city's interests) for low level leagues and a reasonably big one (the Forum) if only we could find a place in a decent league (spoiler: no major European league* wants a foreign team, there have been a lot of attemps in the past, but either Switzerland nor Germany allowed even to start talking of joining them)   *and KHL is no longer an option nowadays, of course   all this, to say that there's no chance to have good hockey in Milan (and in Italy, in general) anymore...not now, not in a few years, not in a century (unless Lombardy departs from Italy and joins Switzerland)

      It's a different story with these idiots, but for me it would be a success if it was a permanent ice rink and a real project was created, for example, a good hockey team in Milan, which would promote the sport throughout northern Italy (because we can probably forget about Sicily for next 100 years). For now situations that probably, in 1-2 years there will be nothing left of it except videos on YouTube.    Eureka Watson If there's a demand for this product, why not reactivate it?

      yes, it was a great success   everything that should work, worked very well   there was a little inconvenient on Friday and it was fixed in less than 5 mins, then the ice sustained 3 games a day yesterday and today without any other issue   and moreover, the stands (those open to the public) were full despite the low level of play and the teams not exactly coming from the Milan area   actually, it was even full of nostalgic fans from the great hockey times of the town, the early Nineties, showing how much the city has Hockey in the deep of their hearts and how much a great team is missed here   that was at stake, not the fact that the arena has been projected and built for other goals, AKA music concerts and "global events" and not certainly to host any sport in the future   therefore, yes, it was a success, despite all the fuckin' arrogant, pretentious idiots from the North American (and Italian) social media
