The point is just that the Czech Republic didn't suddenly develop a strong skeleton program. Plus even when looking at the athlete herself, there's nothing new: she was already a well-known name on the circuit well before Pyeongchang 2018 Good result from the Brazilian in Yanqing though. It's early days, of course, but it's a promising start of the winter.

Monzanator 3,593 Posted October 28, 2021 #12 Share Posted October 28, 2021 I only caught up to trying to be a thing in women's bobsleigh. How is that going? @heywoodu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How is that going? @heywoodu Considering she too has been a mainstay for a good number of seasons now, quite well. Especially when taking in account the fact she finished 8th in her debut worlds in 2016, 8th in the Olympics and 3rd in the World Cup overall standings last season (despite missing a race). Missed out on the podium only twice last season, only Flock had more podium finishes. Edit: I just notice now you mentioned bobsleigh instead of skeleton, I got confused since we're in the skeleton thread I assume you meant skeleton though.

Olympian1010 7,470 Posted November 7, 2021 #19 Share Posted November 7, 2021 Silveira is on some good early season form at the moment. There’s a lot of racing to go until the qualification cut off, but a NA CUP win is a good place to start. Vargas was the best of the other non-traditional starters in 8th. “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

Any idea why the men's results aren't there yet?
