I'm not a regular luge watcher, but is it wrong to say that...7 people can win it today? Those times look really close.

 

Actually the gaps are not that small. Loch can probably lose the gold only with a bigger mistake, what isn't impossible on this track. I guess around 0.2s is the most you can otherwise hope to make up in relation to those around you.

 

It's measured to thousands for a reason. :d

Yeah, but those 7 are within 0.1!

 

Ignore everything! That's third run only. :facepalm:

 

Can't find complete time on official page. Quite counter-intuitive layout.

Yep, official page is pretty awful. :p There is "cumulative result" tab but it's empty at the moment.

The race seems to be pretty close:

Looks as if the top 7 athletes are still in medal contention.

Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached.

    • Despite total domination by the Norwegian men (and yes, it's exhausting and boring), the accomplishments this weekend of Emil Iversen and Einar Hedegart are worth highlighting, despite them being Norwegian.    Iversen was dropped by the Norwegian national team after the opener in Beitostølen 2 weeks ago and was not taken to Ruka. Instead, he won both the 10k and 20k Interval Classic starts in Gålå in the Norwegian Cup last week, which granted him a spot on the start line in Trondheim. He took full advantage of that opportunity and finished on the podium in the skiathlon, and finished just off the podium in today's 10k Interval Freestyle. This definitely puts his name in serious contention for a spot on the Olympic team, which looked incredibly doubtful just a few days ago.    Einar Hedegart, the 24-year-old biathlete who decided to challenge the stereotype that biathletes are inferior skiers to their cross-country counterparts, just won the 10k Interval Start against all of Norway's best in a de facto Olympic trial.    Yes, it's exhausting seeing nothing but Norwegian flags on the men's side, but there can be excitement just beneath the surface at times.
