Olympian1010 7,483 Posted November 18, 2020 #3 Share Posted November 18, 2020 Start lists out for the first races this year. Americans, Canadians, and Koreans don’t appear to have made the trip to Latvia. It looks like the Chinese are absent too. We do get to see a Brazilian in the women’s skeleton though @heywoodu “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

We do get to see a Brazilian in the women’s skeleton though @heywoodu I wonder how complete those start lists are. Russians aren't shown in the bobsled ones, but they were on the start lists for trainings earlier this week (although they DNF'd, but their skeleton athletes are there and sliding). Rocha had a World Cup outing in bobsled already, where they finished ahead of two very much podium candidate sleds (sure, those two crashed, but who cares) https://www.ibsf.org/en/component/events/event/169458 In skeleton she seems to have been doing trainings only for a few seasons now, I wonder why she didn't start a single race. If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

How can Russians be on the bobsled start lists when there are no such start lists yet? #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But apparently they're there for Friday's races now, so they are of course complete, one can assume.

heywoodu 13,562 Posted November 20, 2020 #8 Share Posted November 20, 2020 Does anybody else recognize the intro music from something else? I'm not sure whether I recognize it from earlier IBSF live streams or from another sports-related event, possibly a multi-sports event In case there is no music anymore and they're already live, of course just rewind to the beginning to listen.

It sounds vaguely familiar. I don’t think it was a theme song, but something in my brain is telling it was perhaps the medal ceremony song used at Lausanne2020. I definitely think it was used at Lausanne 2020 and Buenos Aires 2018, but I’m not sure about how. “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

I do think it was used during the Games though. “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.
