We are seeing a lot of ties because it's a short technical track, like we had in Nagano. On most tracks ties aren't super common. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually am in love with the Pyeongchang track, especially as a luge track (curve 9 is one of the best curve in the world IMO), I'd like Beijing's track to be similar but maybe like five to ten seconds longer. And with a longer start for Bobsleigh. I know it's unlikely but I really hope to see some luge world cups in Pyeongchang.

I think Lochner was very unlucky, he is an amazing guy and he didnt deserve the "hatred" by one of his team members ... He was so dominant all season long just to be completely chanceless here. It must have been the material. He said he spent tons of hours with analyzing his runs and tried all possible lines on this track in training and the race itself, but never got close to the speed he needed to compete for a medal. The good thing is that all german pilots are still young enough to compete in 4 years. A bit sad that Kuske will retire, but at least he will do it as most successful bob athlete ever.

Of course the medal table isnt the most important thing at the olympics ... but i still think its cool that the question which nation tops the medal table will remain open until the last event of the olympics, probably didnt happen too often in the past. About your question: I would say its either gold for Kalla or for Norway, something between 50:50 and 60:40 (in favor of Norway) probably. thepharoah 1 Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached.
