So Maya Pedersen makes the 2nd WC run for the first time since 2006.

Yarnold is in awful shape...

 

Sadly, at this point it looks like GBR will fail to medal in women's skeleton for the first time ever.

Speakers in Altenberg playing 'Highway to Hell' less than 5 minutes after that same song finished on my phone

So Flock apparently might well have thrown away an Olympic ticket there. This system is such bullshit, three top-10 women fighting for only two Olympic tickets.

Even if Gilardoni overtakes Flock, Flock should still qualify as NED will reject Joska.

That's the hope I was holding out for Flock/Meylemans/Priedulena (who obviously should all be in the Olympics).

Meylemans and Priedulena are pretty safe.

 

This list is missing Nigeria who needs to finish one more NAC race to qualify, meaning that provisionally Gilardoni would be out (until NED rejects Joska).

Honestly, I'm really looking forward to seeing having ridiculous deficits in Pyeongchang.
