Luge at the Winter Olympic Games 2018

[dcro 10,210]

P/F were pretty good.

 

No triple medal for Sicss, in all likelihood.

P/F were (in my opinion) the best so far, this close to a near-perfect Wendl/Arlt even with a rather big mistake..

What a mistake by Italians 

[dcro 10,210]

Both Italian doubles with bad bottom parts...

Ah yes, the eternal struggles of such events. Those people called dressage "Poodle Scuba Diving" in Rio, because why not...

 

 

Iam not a big fan of luge , but I find this event really hard and challengable one , these guys are doing an extraordinary job here and it's very fun to watch

I'm going for a 33/33/33 chance for the gold

What do the bookies say?

[thepharoah 2,405]

As long as u have 2 Germans in Top 3 before last run , then the Gold should be theirs

Nothing now, maybe after run 1 has finished.. 

 

They do have odds for the relay (well, one of them didn't take them offline), and I'm very much thinking about Canada and/or USA for the podium, but also Austria (Egle was very decent in both runs yesterday, despite weaker runs the day before). Then again, three picks for three podium positions isn't smart money management  

 

Spoiler

 

I mostly think they are really, really overrating Demchenko-less Russia and also Italy.

Oh, doubles odds are there already

 

 

P/F looks very tempting....(not that they let me bet more than 3 euro or so, but still)
