dcro 10,182 Posted February 5, 2018 #61 Share Posted February 5, 2018 I would point out to Totallympics that Women's bobsleigh competition is simply called "Women's bobsleigh", and not "Women's 2-man" as it's written everywhere here. #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's confusing to people who don't know much about it. Like, when they differentiate between Two-man and Four-man, is "Women's Bobsleigh" two or four, or even just one? Wikipedia calls it "Two-woman" which makes it clear. Edited February 5, 2018 by Quasit Stopped watching sports, there are better things in life.

But IBSF calls it "Women's bobsleigh". And speaking of confusing names, I guess the likes of "super-g" are self explanatory? #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was just an attempt of explaining of why people might say "Women's Two-man/Two-woman". While we're at it, I also don't like the use of a capital "C" in "Pyeongchang". I will never type it out like that. Yeah, I'm rebellious. Haha, as a kid I've always wondered what Super-G stands for and nobody could tell me.

heywoodu 13,560 Posted February 7, 2018 #65 Share Posted February 7, 2018 Today's first training session: http://ibsf.sportresult.com/ResultListBackUp/192779.pdf Lamin Deen and Loic Costerg with the fastest times, interesting. Won Yunjong had a DNF in run 1, that's not good. If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

Really doesn't mean anything at this point (Deen and Costerg used 4-man sleds as they don't compete in 2-man, and we can't know what most of the other used). And why would someone cheer for a home nation in sledding sports (as if they don't already have a huge advantage...). #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it doesn't mean anything, but it's results, meaning we're really close now and I'm getting excited And about the home advantage: a bookmaker gave odds of 501 for Won to win...managed to get €50 on that, so yeah, I'm cheering for Won (in 2-man) If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

To pay next season's biathlon trip Oh well, at that odds I'd have put 250 euro on it if they let me, 501 for a former World Cup champion who has had a million more runs down this track than anyone else...that's ridiculous. I still think Germans and Canadians are the favourites, but no way Won has only like 0,2% chance to win the gold If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

dcro 10,182 Posted February 7, 2018 #70 Share Posted February 7, 2018 Our team is optimistic enough after the first training runs. They are one of very few crews that haven't been to Pyeongchang before. Exciting to have our sledding teams here (and interestingly all of them come from coastal Croatia). hckošice 1 #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
