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.

I don't watch medal ceremonies at Olympics though, let alone at Youth Olympics, so I certainly didn't hear it there. I am 100% certain I've heard it before, since I could basically whistle along with the tune and I simply know it. Maybe I've simply heard it on the IBSF broadcasts before the races start before, although generally I turn off the sound until the event actually starts (and often I don't even watch live but later and then I skip the whole music thing anyway).

 

It's odd

Maybe you just know it from other bobsleigh/skeleton broadcasts? It's not like it's something new

Am I wrong or Terauda is first woman at WC podium ever?

Not exactly. Her mother is Czech, father German. She was born in Prague but her family moved to Germany when she was kid. First she competed for Germany but not anymore.

What a weird season opener  

 

Kimberley Bos with her second ever podium, the first in nearly four years (gosh, time is flying...I remember when she started competing in Europe Cups...) and Endija Terauda making her World Cup debut with a podium  

 

Sure, home track and all, but entering the big leagues with a podium is quite a performance no matter how you look at it.
