Not often that people here congratulate sports governing bodies, but the IBSF have really done a good thing for skeleton this month.  Three Asian Cup races and then three World Cup races all in Asia have really brought out all the athletes - 38 in the women's race and 34 in the men's today, great start to the Olympic qualifying campaign. 

 

But on the other hand, I felt transported back to the pandemic era it seems. Watched the second women's race today and there were literally 2 people in the stands... If it wasn't for the different teams and TV staff It would look like a slide through a cemetery.
