Is there any fundemntal difference between natural and artifical tracks ? If not, natural tracks becoming the prime luge event sounds like the best thing that could ever happen to the sport. Unless... (What that tinfoil hat is doing on my head ?)

 

 

Based on the few times I've seen NTL, I'd say they don't have the banked corners, resulting in the fact they're driving around the corners with a hand on the ice

And they are also holding some ropes while driving, if I'm not mistaken.

Natural Track Parallel Doubles Luge !

 

 

OK, YT is teaching me that he might not be the best thing that could happen to the sport

The Austrian technicians put dog shit under the rudders or what?

Ninis about to have the fastest 2nd run out of everyone!

Interesting insight from the commentators. Jurors are supposed to measure runners' temperature as soon as they cross the line, but Loch unusually picked up his sled and then put it back onto the ice to celebrate with both hands...

Bree Schaaf en Emily Sweeney were more awake than the jurors.
