Loving the orange Slovakian sled of Cernanska/Horvathova :d @hckosice

 

(unless the cameras somewhat change the colour and it's actually red, but I'm going with cheering for the orange :d )

Yep, they skipped the engines.

The original one is now used by boys and the orange by the girls

Like the initiative, it might be a little late for Beijing though. I do hope the BSFN sticks around and continues to build a program.

Why do nations and people come up with these things so incredibly last-minute? I mean, replace '2022 Beijing' with '2026 Cortina' and it'd have been a perfectly valid idea other than trying to use a free continental quota (is that still a thing?).

It's not. No more freebies for Nigeria. Gone with the Project Bogota.

Who'd have though some roller skiing in Colombia would have such an effect? :d

Because it was designed to fix points. Holding mass starts instead of interval starts was unusual, but so much more efficient for the one and only purpose of that event. :whistle:

No wait, I understand the whole thing was a set-up to qualify athletes through that event. What I meant was, who'd have though some roller skiing in Colombia would have so much of an effect that even in bobsleigh rules are different now :p
