prso1000 536 Posted January 17, 2018 #41 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Switzerland niminated only 1 female athlete (Martina Kocher) despite having two quotas. If I am not wrong that means debut for Croatia in Luge at the Olympics (Daria Obratov) dcro and hckošice 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I am not wrong that means debut for Croatia in Luge at the Olympics (Daria Obratov) Now it's confirmed. Very happy for her. She was like the first reserve in both 2010 and 2014, and this time it almost finished in the same way. Thankfully it didn't!

pdr4332 149 Posted January 17, 2018 #43 Share Posted January 17, 2018 I recommend we could start put together the team rosters for major Luge nations. What I have for the moment: Italy was already mentioned here USA Singles: West, Mazdzer, Morris (M) // Britcher, Hamlin, Sweeney (W) Doubles: Mortensen/Terdiman, Krewson/Sherk Canada S: Edney, Malik, Watts (M) // Gough, Apshkrum, McRae (W) D: Walker / Snith Austria S: Egger, W. Kindl, X (M, last to be decided after Lillehammer) // Prock, Platzer, Egle (W) D: Penz/Fischler, Steu/Koller Germany S: Loch, Langenhan, Ludwig (M) // Geisenberger, Eitberger, Huefner (W) D: Eggert/Benecken, Wendl/Arlt Could anyone put here some info on Latvia? Did not find anything recent on their federation site, even in Latvian Any info on the composition of the Russia / OAR team? One can know for sure that T. Ivanova will not be included due to her Olympic ban, but nothing else Gianlu33 and heywoodu 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcro 10,179 Posted January 17, 2018 #44 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Markus Prock selected his daughter (what a shock). I wonder if he will also select one of the Gleirschers (sons of his long time team mate). Conflict of interest? What is that?! #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, not necessarily this team, but I'd definitely select Prock as well (I'd go for Kastlunger instead of Egle though). 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!

You have a point, but in such a small sport this cannot be avoided entirely. In order to completely avoid conflict of interest for example, in case of Germany, Norbert Loch would be forced to exclude Felix Loch from his team which is kind of counter-productive Other route is what the Americans have done, that is, make the selection dependent in 100% on results at X world cup races or a separate national selection race. Agree with heywoodu on Kastlunger though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prock competed at a grand total of 3 WC races this season, and entered top 15 only once. She hardly proved anything... #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She hardly proved anything... Yet she beat Kastlunger in the last two of them. Kastlunger hardly proved she should be selected instead of Prock as well, when looking at it from the other side. Not sure if maybe they've had some internal race as well.

LowerSaxony 205 Posted January 28, 2018 #50 Share Posted January 28, 2018 As only one Russian woman is eligible, Argentina seems to have received a reallocation quota in the women's event: https://www.eleco.com.ar/deportes/ravenna-tambien-ira-a-corea/ The other should have gone to Kazakhstan.
