dcro 10,179 Posted January 19, 2020 #132 Share Posted January 19, 2020 It's interesting how Kindl completely dominated the early part of the last season and then got DQ'd in Lake Placid. He hasn't been anywhere near the podium ever since. One has to wonder if he was doing something really shady with his sled...

Last doubles podium without Germans on it was more than 10 years ago. should they race consistently year aftyer year in Lillehammer and Sigulda, we would likely see more races with no Germans on the podium (and hoping that soon also Cortina becomes one of those tracks)...

Say what you want, but it's an honor for Dukach and Mandziy that they finished in the top ten as Bley and Egger . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heywoodu 13,540 Posted January 21, 2020 #137 Share Posted January 21, 2020 (edited) Jakub Simonak and Daria Obratov both made their commentating debut I think, both were excellent as always I liked Simonak's English, with the best statement being about a crash: "But that's the luge of sport" And Tim Singer had to explain to Obratov she doesn't need to call everyone 'Mr', but she was definitely trying to be as polite as possible Oh how I love the sliding sports and their use of still very much active athletes as guest commentators Edited January 21, 2020 by heywoodu 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!

And, yes, we don't sound like Russians when speaking English (it's not just Dania). #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems to me that there is a misleading stereotype that people from Russia or Ukraine cannot speak English. At my university there are a lot of students from Ukraine, which speaks English fluently and only in this language you can get along with them. And as Demchenko deals with English, to be honest I didn't have the opportunity to verify. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
