dcro 10,172 Posted February 14, 2020 #4 Share Posted February 14, 2020 This event will be a joke. Canada is apparently completely skipping this. In fact, most WC stages of this season have had more entries than we'll see in Sochi this weekend. #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phelps 6,536 Posted February 14, 2020 #5 Share Posted February 14, 2020 looking at this qualification races (and at all the training runs of the past 2 days), it seems that this year Germany won't have a very good time...at least in both singles' events (and possibly in the team Relay)... the doubles races, instead, are only Eggert/Benecken to lose...they look to slide on another planet... for Italy, D-Fisch and Rieder/Kainzwaldner way better than expected...hope they can steal a couple of medals...

Canada has also pretty much skipped non-Russian events and they've been very clear about the reason since the beginning: the team is extremely young and they don't want to make the mistake of bringing them under too much pressure too fast. Walker/Snith could have been there though, but the whole Canadian luge program has been having major financial struggles, so I doubt they wanted to spend too much for one doubles team to go there.
