Just noticed it now by the way, but there is no 'men's doubles' in luge. 

Of course, if a country want they can use a woman for the luge. One of the symbol of the luge, Maria Isser, won a gold in doubles in European Championship in 1954. She was the only woman that won a medal in international events

I have been wondering for some time if there has ever even been a woman in an (international) doubles competition, thanks for letting me know there was even one who won gold

I don't think aerials/big air are more dangerous than for example the alpine downhill  (a lot more boring though..)

 

Not sure if you know, but the 100m in speed skating has been a World Cup event for a few years (10 years ago I think), and that was......absolutely a joke 

The problem with aerials / big air is when you mess up, come down vertically and land on your neck.

I hate to say this but i fully expect someone to be paralysed or suffer a severe brain injury between now and the Olympic final.

The bigger the prize, the more risks are taken.

 

I quite like the idea of head to head 100m races. 32 skaters. Round 1, last 16. QF. SF. final.

 

BTW "Ice cross downhill" = Red Bull sponsored Crashed Ice events

Ha! Her partner was her brother,

I guessed that in the 50s if a woman sat on top of a man in public he'd either be her brother or husband

@Quasit It would be nice, if you could update the first post with a direct link to each user program post. Same with the other thread.

 

Just a thought.

Good idea, that simplifies finding your own post back and make adjustments. The list of posts is now at the bottom of the first post in both threads.
