Pyeongchang had three sections that were key: exit turn 2, turn 9 chicane, uphill stretch before final turn. I also saw people have problems quite often between turns 4/5. I loved the Pyeongchang track. Pyeongchang, Konigsee, and Whistler are my favorite tracks. The worst tracks are Innsbruck, Altenberg, Calgary, Winterberg, and Sochi.

 

I think the area before the kreisel may be tricky, but it’s really hard to judge before seeing anyone run the track. I do fear Xiaohaituo will be an easy track based off the concept drawings, but I’m holding out hope for a fun challenge like Pyeongchang.

 

my favourite tracks are all those where German lugers don't win (or at least don't do it always)...:p

 

long live Sigulda! :cheer:

 

and those where the Italians normally do well...:lol:

 

Trebevic (Sarajevo), Lillehammer, Park City and Cesana forever in my heart! :champion:

The Chinese athletes could have known every single detail of the track with closed eyes by now :p 

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! Full story and how to help can be found here!

...I actually really like the industrial landscape.

It’s a good fit for the sport too. It’s a bit ugly in my opinion. I know that this was essentially an abandoned area of Beijing, and the organizers are trying to “spread the joy” (Plus, they didn’t evict thousands off their property for this stadium so...win/win). I like the factories in the background, but I would prefer a better view of the city in the foreground. Honestly they could make it very urban and modern in terms of setting if they were just willingly to knock down a few smokestacks and steel drums.

      I still remember watching the World Junior Championships in Moncton when ES was hyping her unbeaten streak of 100+ races or whatever the number was and she promptly came 2nd in 200m

      After four weekends of winter sports, we are slowly entering the middle of the winter season . And, as usual, it's time for statistics that I don't know which theared to put in      After 29 events, 20 different NOCs was already on the podium. After several seasons, Uzbekistan is also back on the podium thanks to figure skating (and two former Russians).   This weekend will be all about ice sports, with a total of 13 events: 4 in figure skating (first stage in Europe) and 9 in short track (second stage in Montreal, since SLC was cancelled)

      Out of curiosity, I listened to a few podcasts about Turkmenistan today. This country has very large deposits of natural gas. In the 1990s, a simple a ordinary people lived quite well there. In the early 21st century, Turkmenistan signed several unfavorable gas deals with China and has practically gone bankrupt since then. 1/3 of the population (about 2 million out of 6 million- mostly young people) emigrated, mainly to Turkey, India, etc. The future of this country is blacka and uncertain. I don't know what other options they have? Russia, Turkey, the EU? Of course, in terms of selling gas. Perhaps sanctions of Russia's and isolation due to the war in Ukraine would be a chance for Turkmenistan to establish economic relations with the EU, but the new president would probably have to loosen and a little liberate up his country's domestic politics.
