dcro 10,182 Posted November 28, 2020 #15 Share Posted November 28, 2020 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. #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems to be a running theme in luge. Such athletes usually stay around for one cycle in skeleton/bobsleigh. And luge? One 31st place. Great - three Olympics minimum! #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
