It is. Duncan Kennedy came closest, crashed in Lillehammer after being in medal position. Now his protege brought the redemption. vinipereira 1 #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not like he was nowhere after three runs. We've seen favorites' meltdown in biathlon before. Luge is like the most predictable winter sports event these days.

But yeah, didn't expect him to throw that away. What do you mean? Him choking in the last run or him not winning in general? Before 2010 olympics he won 1 world cup, before 2014 olympics he won 5 world cups, before this olympics he won 3 world cups, i don't really see much of a trend to be honest.

VolleyRuller96 264 Posted February 11, 2018 #234 Share Posted February 11, 2018 Loch Pretty good competition for Poland, too. My favourite Volleyball position: LIBERO. You ask why? Look here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZyIOarNAONk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OlympicsFan 776 Posted February 11, 2018 #235 Share Posted February 11, 2018 Tactical loss from Loch to shut up the people who want to eliminate luge from the olympics? For me this sport, as well as bob and skeleton and probably ski jumping/nordic combined should still be eliminated, way too expensive.

I mean they hardly use those ex-Olympic venues. Is the Cesena track even operational these days? I've read that some people push for the natural luge tracks to be introduced to the Olympics but that would mean kicking out bobsleigh. So I don't see that happening.

I've heard it like 5-6 years ago but our TV experts claim that Italians still train at both Cortina/Cesena. I mean Cortina was still natural or more like concrete? I can't believe it's still out there? I mean I've heard the Pragelato ski jumping hill complex is also done? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
