What kind of gender equality is this? I feel really bad for the athlete. Always being screwed by her governing body. @Olympian1010 Especially after the bizarre interpretation of the rules that allowed Frimpong in last time; was it the "clean list" or something so that 60 was really 100. dcro and intoronto 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SalamAkhi 277 Posted January 18, 2022 #34 Share Posted January 18, 2022 The French bobsleighs are officially qualified according to the Federation, nothing on Bessard yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SalamAkhi 277 Posted January 18, 2022 #35 Share Posted January 18, 2022 Annnnnnd she's out Skeleton in France is kind of dead, but the federation, who does nothing to bring it back to life, seemingly assess that preventing any TV coverage is better than putting the sport in the spotlight, even if the athlete doesn't deliver.

Not convinced they will. Sweden tends to be strict in sports they are good at, but they also tend to be open minded to new sports and new athletes. #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
