German domination continues.  10 out of 12 medals.  Results in Post 2 if you want to take a look.  (They did two 4-Mans instead of one 2-Man and one 4-Man.)

Still only German flags in 2-Man.

In my opinion, the number of quotas for one country at the Olympics should be limited to two. Nothing negatively affects the perception of a given sport than a podium composed of athletes from one country... The same applies to sports where Norway dominates.

The problem with bobsleigh is the equipment being so uneven, not the number of quotas a country can get.

But Russia can beat the Germans at home in 2014. I wonder where they got their equipment? Did they use their own resources, or did they import them from abroad?

Germany didn't have that much of an equipment advantage in 2014, and the Russians had a big home track advantage in 2014 (just like Canada had back in 2010, Korea in 2018, China in 2022...)

 

Italy will, obviously, not get such an advantage given how late the track was built.

Luge was our best chance of some kind of advantage. In bobsleigh, our results have been surprisingly good for the past two years, but the last time we really mattered in this sport was in the late 1990s- In 1998, we had gold in the two-man event in Nagano.
