As expected, the Italians are there and will be in the mix. Dominick won the 2nd training

Austria & Italy looks with the best equipment shape here so far. Ninis just by his participation today marked our sport history with his 6th appearance at a WOG he tied the all time SVK Olympic record with the Canoe Sprinter Erik Vlček who competed at 6 Summer Games as well

still, D-Fisch winning the 2nd run ahead of Kindl and Leon Felderer, them the other Austrians

and once again bad performance by the Germans

let's see tomorrow if something changes (I hope not 😈)

Looking at results now,  Aparjods 4th in the second training run, much better 

 

Would be awesome to see Latvia get 2-3 medals here, with a combination of Bots/Plume (my favourite luge team), Aparjods, and Upite/Kaluma

the Germans are coming...

but for now the Italians are still in front of the pack

 

however, looking at the training runs, it will be a very close, heartbeating competition, like we've not seen very often at the Olympic Games

I've looked at Beijing's training runs. You couldn't have guessed Ludwig would win handily - apart from Kindl but he did win 3 races out of 4 and only conceded 1 hundredth of a second in the 4th. Let's hope we will witness some turnarounds.
