phelps 6,527 Posted January 15, 2020 #552 Share Posted January 15, 2020 It looks that the Italian WinterSports Federation and the Italian National Olympic Committee officially asked the IOC to include Natural Track Luge (3 more events, men and women's Singles and open Doubles...most likely, no Team event) in the 2026 Olympic Games schedule...

Really it deserves a place at this point. Rumor has it that they’ll look to add Ski Mountaineering as well. They have pretty good arguments for its inclusion as well. “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

From my understanding, yes... It’s also popular in Russia, Ukraine, and Romania. New Zeland has some depth as well. “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

Yeah, if you see a German name (either as name of an athlete or of a competition venue) you can pretty much bet your ass it's in Italy 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!

New Zeland has some depth as well. Damian Waniczek & Andrzej Laszczak from Poland won the World Cup standings in 2002 and also won four World Championship medals during their career. They had 10 World Cup wins in the doubles as well. That was the high-water mark in Polish luge for sure, sadly it came at natural tracks which nobody cares about.

heywoodu 13,499 Posted January 15, 2020 #559 Share Posted January 15, 2020 Isn't it usually live streamed on Facebook or something? That's such a shitty platform for live streams, it should be on the video.fil-luge.org platform or YouTube.
