I'd agree, although I wouldn't put Repilov far behind, or even Kindl. Loch should of course be able to fight for the gold as well (obviously), but he's been making so many mistakes this season.. Oh well, as long as nobody dominates, I'm happy If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

Gianlu33 3,674 Posted January 21, 2018 #113 Share Posted January 21, 2018 Before start Dominik Fishnaller required last-minute treatment form the German team doctor for a back problem. And he won Amazing fair-play gesture of the German team! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heywoodu 13,609 Posted January 21, 2018 #116 Share Posted January 21, 2018 (edited) Also Penz/Fischler won the doubles sprint, first non-German doubles win since November 2015. All in all, this was a fun weekend of luge Too bad Eitberger crashed yesterday and Eggert/Benecken did so today, since it's never much fun when a sled (especially a medal contender) crashes, but alright.

heywoodu 13,609 Posted January 21, 2018 #118 Share Posted January 21, 2018 If anyone is not consistent this season it's Loch..

I agree, which is exactly why I definitely have him high on my list of favourites. Honestly I wouldn't be able to name one specific favourite, which is a good thing, because I think there are at least five guys with a realistic shot at gold (Loch, D Fischnaller, Repilov, Pavlichenko and Kindl), apart of course from the always possible surprises.
