 gets a retrospetive 4-Man World Cup Gold, our first ever, after a Russian Doping Ban.  Shame it has come too late, our teams could have done with the funding & recognition this last few years.

The wonderful Turbodrom seems to have somewhat survived, but yeah...that thing is gonna have to be leveled to be rebuilt

Very sad to see, even if it's not one of my favourite tracks. More starts in Russia and/or North America now i presume, to compensate it's absence, until it's rebuild.

Competing for Lamin Deen, very much Britain's B sled.  I'm sure he'll do a very good job because he has always been a truly professional athlete, but it does seem a bit of a publicity stunt to get sponsors onboard.

Training has started at the new Olympic track.

First races of the season due up in the next feed hours. It’s a series of IBSF races in Yanqing that aren’t World Cup events, yet should feature many of the teams you’d expect to see on circuit.
