[Gianlu33 4,575]

After the very strange men's event (and awful for the italians...) it's finally the time for the sprints  Btw, the main event of the day now is the team event

back spasm problems for D-Fisch, it looks...

however, it shouldn't be anything too serious...

Natural Track Parallel Doubles Luge !

 

 

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

 

 

 

don't get too influenced by that race...that's a unique event held only once per season...

all the remaining races are just "normal" one-by-one runs...

 

the main difference between NTL and ATL are the courses (obviously), which in NTL are normal everyday mountain roots iced with snow and water to get the track...

there are no banked curves, just some wooden (sometimes with airfences, too, but not always) protection walls in the most dangerous passages...

and sleds have brakes (the ropes handled by lugers are there for that purpose) to slow down a bit before the most demanding curves...

and because of its nature, in NTL driving skills are a lot more important than aerodynamics...

that's it...

Surely this will be a medal for Ninis.

Wow, Ninis is impressive these days 

[heywoodu 15,147]

Does anyone know where one can find all results of a certain luger? I know FIL's website but they mostly just show the last few seasons. 

[dcro 10,210]

Maybe even a victory!

[dcro 10,210]

Meh... But hopefully he will still win a medal.

[heywoodu 15,147]

YEESS! Ninis on the podium
