intoronto 4,362 Posted January 31 #115 Share Posted January 31 Very risky, but when you bid to host the Olympics, you do not do so to host events in other countries imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phelps 6,990 Posted January 31 #116 Share Posted January 31 to me, Skt.Moritz should have been the Olympic choice from the beginning (it's a track where we always perform very well, after all) the Cortina track should have been a project not related to the Olympic Games, their hype and media exposure (we definitely need a sliding sports track, but we should have built it "under the radar", keeping all the opposing idiots on local basis only as much as we could instead of giving them such a big stage and such a chance to make enormous damage to the sport in this fuckin' Country) I don't really see any advantage now in having a home track where we didn't have the time to train a lot more than any other Nation Olympian1010 and maestro 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's fine, just cut money on safety stuff and it'll be done in time Still sad for the Italian athletes though. They could easily have had several years of extra training, which would have resulted in men's skeleton, women's skeleton, two-man and four-man bobs and basically all luge disciplines having very significant medal chances and even gold medal chances, but now....it's basically as much their home track as it is Ferlazzo's or Rocha's home track. Two years and it has to be done, up and running and having held test competitions. maestro and Josh 2 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!

De_Gambassi 899 Posted February 6 #119 Share Posted February 6 I still find a bit off that IOC is pushing THAT hard against building a new sliding venue. Because if we don't build any new venue for the Olympics, then nobody is ever going to build any new venue for the sport. Period. And without new venues, the same set of countries is going to win olympic medals for ever and ever (and one in particular who happens to have 3 times more venues than anybody else). I understand Agenda 2020, the general economical/political context around the olympic games and that you can't ask for the same degree of universality of summer olympic sports. But still, if you basically give up on you only chance to grow the sport by building new venues in new countries, what's the point of the sliding events at the olympics ?
