P/F were pretty good. :cheer:

 

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..

Ah yes, the eternal struggles of such events. :pThose 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

What do the bookies say? :mumble:

 

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 :p

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

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

    • Yep. Not sure if it was the NOC or the biathlon federation (I assume the latter) that put him in the Livigno training 'world' with a former Italian biathlete as coach, but they can definitely also be blamed:  almost everyone involved in that shitshow got the motivation just sucked out of them by the methods and shitty atmosphere until they either retired or changed country

    • Lots of injuries, including often just pure bad-luck stuff like a fall from a set of stairs, illness, and of course the Sochi tragedy in 2014: one of her biathlon friends, young Julia Pieper, killed herself with a biathlon rifle early during the Olympics (she wasn't on the team, but was a training partner of both Preuss and Dahlmeier). Obviously a hard hit, which led to terrible Olympics for Preuss, with a DNF, awful results in her other individual races and a relay where she was the first runner for Germany, but fell early on, got snow in her rifle and broke a pole and ended up losing almost 3 minutes, which in turn resulted in Germany being off the podium for the first time ever.   After that came all the injuries and illness and everything. So glad to finally see her have her big individual global gold, that is so well deserved.
    • Dave Ryding's Sixth was the best from a  man since 1934!  We actually have two Women's Golds in the 1930s.
    • first win for the Italian men's relay since 2007      very good Home stage for us   if only the organizers didn't set the finals sessions at 2 p.m. (especially on Saturday), there would have been a lot more spectators on the seats
