Luge at the Winter Olympic Games Milano Cortina 2026

[Gianlu33 6,015]

Ready for the next massacre in Cortina for Italy. Extremely high temperatures, +3 degrees apparently. It's not like we're in the Maldives.

 

Mattarella is in Cortina, where tomorrow he will watch the Super G, luge and curling. His presence is usually considered a good luck charm for Italian athletes, so let's hope for the best.

Austria clearly has better sleds that Italy, Egle/Kipp should have been way further from Voetter/Oberhofer with that mistake.

They completely messed up a turn, even doing two waves. Only they know how they could have gone so fast, absurd equipment.
Someone should take a lighter and heat up their skates

Bad sign. Austria and Germany, with the same quality of runs, beat Italy by at least 0.2-0.3 seconds of a point.

Eitberger/Matschina only 0.022 behind with two mistakes 

 

There is no way Voetter/Oberhofer are hanging on in the 2nd run.

Maybe in the second run we'll use a real sledge and not a piece of wood with wheels
