And China qualifying two sleds in the  two man!? 

 

Amazing that also Brazil almost qualified two sleds in two-man! They were very much on the road, but a crash of their second sled in the very last race prevented it.

I'm happy for the tied gold - but it's not about the damn medal ranking, it's about the athletes who deserve the gold after dominating the last couple of years. Nice to see the gold shared with Kripps

So this is the part where I'm supposed to mumble about losing a "safe" gold right?

@Nate River Sadly we haven't track in Italy but the big problem is that the federation use all the founds for the sleds sports for the luge and our Bob was neglected. Our federation is just a shame, they care only about alpine skiing...

No, we have two federation.

The FISI is the federation for all the FIS sports, IBU, FIL and IBSF.

Meanwhile the FISG federation is for all the sports of ISU and Ice Hockey and Curling

The same in France ... but every fund from the FFSG goes to figure skating :p After the olympics we'll officially have 0 speed skater :)

We never really have one to start with. Only one roller guy that is left alone with his... roller coach.

 

At his point, I believe it would be better it the roller sport federation was handling it...

Richard Adjei won a silver in bobsleigh in 2010. Probably the only American Football player to ever be on the German bobsleigh team?

Their program has gone way way downhill. Doesn't help that they don't have a home track (not sure if Cessana or Cortina are still used?) anymore. I love Simone as a driver but his body just isn't allowing him to be competitive anymore.

I was not expecting de Bruin to make it, especially not after all the mistakes she made in the first run and her shaky start to the second run. Made the Olympics by literally 0.16 seconds.

 

She's very lucky to qualify (she only goes to Pyeongchang because Reinbolt wasn't allowed to race last week after crashing four times in training) but I'm still really happy for her, she's had a great season.

 

Sad about the Romanian team, they deserve to go to the Olympics, but the Jamaicans have a strong team and it's exciting to see them qualify.

 

Also, spare a thought for South Korea. They had a very strong bobsleigh program over much of the last quad, but they only qualified in two man as the host. What the heck happened?

Thanks, never heard of him, maybe she will be the first black female to win a medal at the summer olympics for Germany? :p

Edit: I just remembered Robin Szolkowy ...

I also dont think that a black pilot ever won a gold on the womens side.

They qualified as the host anyway, so didn't need to focus on the World Cup this season, so they have been getting in ten million runs in Pyeongchang, I guess :p 

They had two top-20 teams last season.

      Olivia Weaver was up 9-4 in the 5th game.  Hania El Hammamy  then scored 5 straight points to tie it up.  Then, took the lead with a sixth straight point, then won with a 7th straight point, taking the Sprott Tournament of Champions in New York.  Still, congrats to Weaver for bringing home second place!  (And congrats to El Hammamy...what a streak at the end!)

      How Many Medals do You Expect from Your Nation at the Winter Olympic Games Milano Cortina 2026？

      By clemsonbeav · Posted

      One thing working in our favor with Luge is that Women's Doubles is just one sled per NOC, so I like our chances there.  We'll be 3rd or 4th in the Relay (one of my favorite events)...if everyone slides cleanly, we'll probably be 4th, behind , , and ...but anything can happen in the relay.  (I think in my official predictions I had us 3rd.  Wishful thinking, I suppose.)

      I suspect IBSF will make the point system equal in the future regardless on the number of competitors.   My fear is that they will make the awarded points lower, like only 90 points to the winner to balance it out.

      I think Ro is on a lot of marketing stuff, so I don't imagine USABS would be all that keen on her losing the spot. Perhaps that accounts for their deafening silence.
