heywoodu 13,500 Posted December 13, 2020 #11 Share Posted December 13, 2020 After the fiasco in Winterberg, the second women's monobob World Series event, yesterday in Innsbruck, already looked and felt a whole lot more like a top class event. If it keeps going like this, it'll have all chances to be a not totally terrible Olympic event in 2022 and a worthy one in 2026. Just too bad Martin Haven was all "first ever televised race!!" and such, but I guess these IBSF streams are shown on TV....somewhere? Other than that, of course Winterberg was streamed as well. 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!

Using backyard webcams like in Winterberg is not the same. #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely, although he could have at least mentioned the first race was streamed Oh well, we can count this as first big monobob race anyway considering the field. I'm just slightly annoyed that they couldn't just make it a World Cup but had to go with some 'special' thingy like World Series - as if putting the women in a sled designed for disabled and youth athletes wasn't enough 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!

Because if having bobsleigh and skeleton on TV means IBSF streams get geoblocked, I really, really hope we will never have live bobsleigh and skeleton World Cups on Dutch TV For someone who often can't watch live, nothing beats a full event being available on YouTube to watch with great commentary and - importantly - no spoilers at all in the video titles and (unlike in luge ) thumbnails.
