Great to see luge being back underway, but annoying that the graphics aren't really working properly yet :mad: 

 

They're showing the time gaps at all the splits, as per usual, but then at the finish there is only the actual time, and no time gaps, resulting in all the time having to mentally calculate the difference to see if someone gained or lost time in the last part.

Was going to write the same thing - unless it is all to keep us on our toes with our mental arithmetic.  Did seem to be working for the mixed relays though.

 

Anyway, back to Proper Team Relays next week.

Didn't get there yet, so I'm still curious as to what a 'mixed singles' is exactly :d 

 

I mean, in tennis that'd be a man vs a woman, I suppose :p

Worth seeing, if only for some of the bizarre trans-national lineups.  OK, :FIN/:EST makes a lot of sense, but :AUS/:SUI & :ARG/:SVK were international sporting firsts.

That was one of my highlights of the luge weekend, for sure. It's great that athletes who are good, but also the only ones in their country on this level, can actually race in a team competition this way (especially goes for Ferlazzo and Maag).

 

IBU had these trans-national teams in biathlon relays, but those times are long gone unfortunately.

Unfortunately never able to catch up with Luge until the middle of the week, but we are seeing an incredible change at the top this season with :AUT dominating :GER in the Singles.  Don't know if this has ever happened before, but if it has, then certainly not since German Unification and probably not even then.

well, in the last 35 years we've had a lot of seasons where the :GER singles weren't the best at all (despite Georg Hackl and Jens Mueller winning a few Olympic and World titles in this span)

 

among the men, people like :AUT Markus Prock and :ITA Armin Zoeggeler have won tons of races and world cups in the Nienties and 2000's...and they haven't been the only ones

 

actually, there have been more periods with :AUT and/or :ITA dominating the field rather than :GER 

 

among the women, after the :AUT Doris & Angelika Neuner + :ITA Gerda Weissensteiner's runs in the early/mid Nineties, it's really been all :GER

    • Heraskevyvh is very good in this season. He did worse last season. Our team is unfortunately doing much worse now.    In luge, unfortunately, it`s difficult to break the dominance of Germany, Austria and Latvia. The USA has also made a lot of progress. I have also read that Russia may return under a neutral banner, so I don`t think we will win a medal in Cortina 2026. The only hope is that we will use our knowledge of the new track in Cortina and then maybe we will win a one medal, maybe in the women's doubles. Unfortunately, we don`t have a star like Armin Zoeggeler as before.

    • I still remember how Demi Moore swept the Razzies for Striptease almost 30 years ago and she won Golden Globes now? The acting industry must be short on talent, scripts or everything else   This being said I don't really watch too many new TV shows these days least of all those Marvel/DC action hero stuff that has taken over in the last decade plus. I know it's a box office gold mine but completely not my taste.
    • Yeah, Anora has been really hard for me to place in my personal rankings. It's a fun and enjoyable film for the most part, but it didn't quite generate the same awe or excitement from me that a few others have this season. Still, I was quite shocked to see Madison lose yesterday because she did a deliver a phenomenal performance in my opinion.    The best actress "race" still feels rather open to me, which adds a bit of suspense to each body's nominations.  
    • Anyone remember that  athlete in a European Champs who was given a false start, then protested and got a re-run?  And then false-started twice.   Was kind of like that. 
    • Justin Trudeau has resigned as party leader and will resign as prime minister of Canada once the Liberal Party choses a new leader. Once a new leader in selected there will likely be elections shortly after.
    • I'm not surprised. Colturi seems to be trending in the right direction (duh) and the rest of the Italian women's team is nowhere except veterans Brignone and Goggia. The Delagos have regressed badly for whatever reason and even Bassino has kinda stalled despite still being in her prime. The shit will soon hit the fan but it's probably to late before the next OG. It would be ridiculous if Albania wins more medals in alpine skiing than Italy
    • The regular season is over. Tennesse Titans get #1 overall pick for the 2025 draft after NE Patriots beat the Buffalo Bills back-ups on the last day.   Mike Evans (Buccaneers) ended his 11th season with 11th mark of 1,000 receiving yards which ties Jerry Rice's all-time record. Bucs needed to run one more play to get him 5 yards he needed instead of kneeling down a game they had won already.   Wild Card Schedule:   My picks: Chargers, Ravens, Bills, Eagles, Commanders, Vikings
