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...

Is it the same federation for snow and ice sports ?

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...

They should create a gateway between the two ...

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.

The American teams have been announced, sadly no Lolo Jones in it. Of course Elana Meyers Taylor and Jamie Greubel Poser as drivers, with Aja Evans and Lauren Gibbs as brakeswomen.

      Sablikova started on the road cycling and just almost qualified for Rio 2016. Maybe Lollobrigida would like to join the Italian track team? She has the good character and 2 medals at the Olympics, one in winter and one in summer, would be a legendary achievement, not only in Italy.   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martina_Sáblíková

      One Wiebes is worth more than the all Italian team with Balsamo/Fidanza, etc., that much clear. Even if the Netherlands loses its dominance in the men's sprint, Wiebes will win 2-3 gold medals in other events. Just relax, man.

      I'm most worried about our women's team in the pursuit – we have a reserve squad, but not advancing to the top 8 is a shame. We recently competed with out 1 team and had not good in 1 round. It doesn't look good. And the Netherlands are already taking Wiebes to the track team and will soon dominate the Madison/Omnium as well. Balsamo and Paternoster haven't made any progress for years and the our women's team at the Olympics has little chance to win a medal. Italy might even win World Championship/European Championship gold in the years after the Olympics, etc., but when the real fight comes, the UK or the USA will always beat us

      Track cycling is one of the few sports where there is no host nation quota, so  will need to work hard to achieve our quotas.  It's not our best sport, but was happy to see Top 10 results in the Elimination Race for Grant Koontz and Emma Jimenez Palos (who is just 18!).

      Yes, I saw the same thing you did @clemsonbeav (on both accounts) but I agree it looks pretty stock.

      Also, I just logged back into my account, where it sent me to update my profile, and when I saved that, I got a screen that included a check mark next to 'Registered for the Draw'.  Not sure I totally trust it, but it does at least say so.  (There's nothing specifically referencing Drop 2 or anything...might just be a stock screen.). I'm curious what it would look like if you looked at it @esube.  https://tickets.la28.org/

      I didn't buy any tickets, but didn't get the e-mail.   We bought tickets on my wife's account (earlier timeslot), but not 12, and she got the e-mail.

      I am very curious.  We got extremely lucky in the first ticket drop, both my and my wife's emails were selected for relatively early time slots-- early enough that we bought our full allotment of tickets for good stuff.  Not swimming or gymnastics of course, but we were really pleased,  d   But today I received an email on one of those accounts saying that we were entered into the second drop because we hadn't used up our 12 ticket allotment.  I went back and counted-- twice-- and yes, we certainly did purchase 12 tickets on that account.      I am not sure I want any more!  Did this happen to anybody else?
