There was a thick fog and those with late start numbers in heat 1 didn't have any speed.

 

It was a bit better in heat 2.

That was a video game run for Queen of the speed.

Firecracker into 5th!

Well, if it stays like this after run 2 then Jamaica will lose their quota.

I thought they'd have an automatic quota 

 

Oooh wait, North America, that's not an automatic quota of course then

No, they count as America so... Romania 9th, Jamaica 14th. That's 40 pts difference, while Jamaica's lead is 34 pts. :/

 

However, Humphries is only 0.01 behind ROU, surely they'll place in front after heat 2. Not just Humphries, Romania had much better start number than those around them in the rankings. Things should be more "normal" in heat 2, we'll see.

Commentator: "And there are so many loopholes that qualify nations..."

 

Geez, how hard are continental quotas to understand?

What a drama in Olympic qualification. Big battle between CAN/USA for 3rd sled finished with CAN winning.

 

Jamaica moved into at least 13th place, so now even 9th wouldn't be enough for the Romanians.
