Came across this Ted Talk after Akashi shared a clip from it on his Instagram. He’s a very good speaker, and it’s an interesting presentation.

Cambodia has a skeleton slider, apparently :p  He'll compete in one of the 'races' in Pyeongchang tomorrow.

There's also a Vietnamese woman competing.

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! Full story and how to help can be found here!

Yep, South Korea has been supporting some smaller/new programs. I know the Nigerians have been at the track training new drivers and brakeman as well.

In an interesting point the weightlifting federation in Cambodia will oversee skeleton (as per the article)....I give it 2 cycles till we see a mixed weightlifting skeleton event at a Youth Olympics (just kidding ofc)

They could train with the chess-boxing team.
