Probably a combination of doing what they love and fighting to keep an income :p 

The whole Luge team (paradoxically, except of the best of them Jozef Ninis) are all employees of the armed forces of the Slovak Republic. and members of the military sport center Dukla Banská Bystrica they receive a monthly salary as every other normal employed person (+ obviously they can get financial bonuses etc... based on the results or successes)

 

If interested here you can find all athletes. just click on the sport icon https://www.dukla.sk/sporty/

Yes, Petra Vlhová is also a soldier of SVK army :d

Austrian win in the doubles' event...:cheer:

 

not happy at 100%, but at least it's not a German sweep this week...:pope:

 

Rieder / Kainzwaldner had a great 1st run, but threw their potential podium place out of the window with a shameful start in the 2nd...

 

so, it's "only" 5th, 6th and 7th for our sleds...:nopompom:

 

tomorrow I'm curious to see if the coming back German moms would eventually get back to where they left (especially Geisenberger, of course)...

Shame he is on his own: I always love the “random passer-by co-commentator” aspect of luge.

In fact we found out later he is stuck in the US & so was having to get up at 02:00 to commentate, so great job.  :bowdown:

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...

As it happens, I only found out a couple of weeks ago that if you install Chrome you can do full desktop casting from any app, not necessarily within the browser.

And probably once their sports career is over, they can get a non-sports job there? Maybe Ninis is the exception because he's good enough to go without military help :p

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

Stramaturaru 7th place at the Olympics is by far the best results for Romania at the Winter Olympics since 1994 when Ioan Apostol and Liviu Cepoi ranked 6th in the same sport, luge.

Feels refreshing to have these Germans back on top. Last season was kind of dull with way too many inconsistent athletes scoring wins and podiums. :smash:

    • I think the reason is that it's generally preferable to have a fast shooter in the 1st leg, and especially in the prone shooting, where Hofer is quite slow.   Now, I'm not saying I agree with the choice, because I don't. I think it's going to neutralize Giacomel's skiing skills in the 1st lap at least.   I guess the idea is to try and set a very fast pace in the 1st leg, which is usually quite tactical, but I'm afraid that's going to force Giacomel to risk too much because he will feel he has to make some time somehow.   Regardless, Italy must be on the podium tomorrow. I think that would be crucial for the following races as well. I think France is the clear favorite, but the other teams are not stronger than Italy on paper.
