Something that would be so much easier with a normal job. :p

That really depends on the situation :p 

 

It might not be that easy to significantly increase your income when you're 25+ and didn't really learn a lot of non-sports stuff due to always focusing on your career, and the jobs you could do might only make for a small income increase but a big decrease in enjoying what you're doing.

 

Surely if they didn't enjoy what they did and saw the option to do something better, they'd do so :d

I'll never understand these Ukrainian/Romanian/Slovak lugers.

 

Sure, competing at the Olympics is probably nice and all, but collecting 28th and 29th places season, after season, after season, seems dull. :p

most likely, they're enrolled in some military corpse...

 

so, better earning that kind of salary by travelling the world with their luge rather than doing the actual tasks of their supposed job...:whistle:

by the way, is it me that I never noticed it or has the FIL live streaming service finally activated the true chromecast support to their video? :mumble:

 

in the past years I can only remember the chance to make the full screen mirroring and not the true video casting...

not a good start of the season...Germany begin with a win in their weakest discipline, the men's singles...:cry: :facepalm: :wall:

 

and the worst news of them all it's that Felix Loch is back on top again! :nopompom:

 

by the way, from an Italian point of view, very good 3rd place for D-Fisch despite his appendicitis troubles and usual average performance by K-Fisch...

 

meanwhile the youngsters have been quite disappointing (despite the good 1st run by Lukas Gufler, who ruined his race with an awful 2nd run)...

Ninis Top 10 in M and Relay in 6th at the WCh in Sochi last season are believe it or not one of the best winter sports results of the country last season. So the Luge federation called the last season successful

 

the distribution of our sports budget mostly depends on the results from the World Championships, the European Championships or the Olympic Games, the smaller federations knows it very well, and it is what they are aiming for the most

    • Yes, he is ones of the first supporters of Milei, owner of one of the most important stock market of Argentina (Bull market), he was peronist and for "unknown reasons" start to be libertarian.   Even being libertarian in my case, i have to admit that him is one of the dumbest of "Milei supporters" and a clown when  he is in TV, he made me feel  embarrassed in many occasions.   Camila Giorgi being with him is.......inconceivable.
    • Ya but the replacement is Pat Bondi, a choice that is only better in so far as Pat Bondi isn't credibly accused of having had sex with multiple underaged girls.   Also, you might recognize this name: Pete Hoekstra has been nominated to be the US ambasador to Canada.
    • Camila Giorgi has a new BF Ramiro Marra. Apparently he's some politician/journalist from Argentina. One of Milei's supporters dare I say? @LDOG@konig            
    • Skeleton Tour moves on to Yanqing  this weekend.  Asian Cup races tomorrow, then the World Cup on Saturday, and then possibly more Asian Cup next weekend before everyone moves over to Altenberg for the start of the full Skeleton / Bobsleigh tour again. 
    • 2-1.   But it's good to have a great champion in the squad. I've been waiting for this my whole life. I wish we had such stars in every sport.
    • But he beat Mouat, who seems to be almost unbeatable 
    • Argentina has a really solid lineup, especially if they have prepared seriously for this event. Of course they don't have a champion like we do, but in this format it is enough to win 1 match to play the decisive doubles.
    • Today we must to beat Argentina. It looks like Sinner will have to win all the singles and doubles for us to defend the title. So far, the 2nd and 3rd favorites before the tournament have already been eliminated: Esp and USA.
