dcro 10,172 Posted February 1, 2020 #152 Share Posted February 1, 2020 Mandziy still leads after starting first. Week after week, it seems like these Ukrainian athletes have zero control over their own destiny. #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcro 10,172 Posted February 1, 2020 #153 Share Posted February 1, 2020 So... Mandziy is 2nd, Sochowicz 3rd, Cretu 5th, Gulfer 7th, Felderer 8th after the first run. Aside from Lillehammer and North America, all other races from this luge season have been as comical as this. #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcro 10,172 Posted February 1, 2020 #156 Share Posted February 1, 2020 Horrific crash for the Chinese doubles team. One of the worst luge crashes I've seen. Bottom man was knocked unconscious. #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I ever visit WC luge competition - it shall be Oberhof. Definitely recommend seeing sliding in person if you ever get the chance. I’ve been to both Whistler (awesome track, great viewing) and Park City (a bit older, too shades too often, still awesome). There’s absolutely nothing like seeing people slide past you in person. “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

heywoodu 13,499 Posted February 3, 2020 #159 Share Posted February 3, 2020 (edited) Did anyone else get Arturs Darznieks singing "It's raining man, hallelujah" during Stakhiv/Lysetskiy's run in the relay? He is such an awesome guest commentator, I wish he did every race in which he isn't racing himself. Last week he dropped a bombshell about Sics and Sics: "Did you know they are brothers?" Edited February 3, 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!

dcro 10,172 Posted February 21, 2020 #160 Share Posted February 21, 2020 Austrian team will boycott the Winterberg stage. Apparently the track's profile was damaged in stormy mild weather conditions this week, what caused several nasty crashes in training. FIL must be run by a bunch of idiots at this point. Every season they put this horrid Winterberg track at the most inappropraite point of the season. Granted, this year there was no Winter in Europe, but nevertheless, Winterberg should only ever be scheduled in mid-January. That's it. #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
