The season has gotten underway  

 

Mariama Jamanka and Vanessa Mark lead the way after the first run, closely followed by Katrin Beierl and Jennifer Odasanya. Sadly my favourite Laura Nolte crashed in the first run, she was well on her way to at least attack Jamanka's time  

 

Run two coming up!

And that's a crash for Martina Fontanive as well, third after run one  

[heywoodu 16,000]

Jamanka wins it, Beierl keeps the distance the same in run two, that's promising for the season (I know there's German tracks to go though ). Kalicki in third.

 

Since Dutch women in bobsled are long gone, we're claiming Odasanya's second place (she's born in the Netherlands and apparently still spends a lot of time here, unless the boyfriend mentioned in an article isn't her boyfriend anymore)

Doesn’t help that the second and third biggest women’s programs are sitting this one out.

Yeah, it's hard to have big start list without N. America, China and Russia.

so, this is a sport truly deserving the olympic spots they get...meanwhile NTL does not...

First of all, that's women's side of this sport, not entirely sport. Second, there are much higher requirments to compete in Bobsleigh WC than NTL (for example only three countries can have three teams). And despite this we had athletes from 13 countries in women's bobs last season. In women's NTL WC it was 16. Not so big difference. I also would like to see NTL at olympics but seriously, what's with this bobs criticism about?
