heywoodu 13,540 Posted November 27, 2017 #51 Share Posted November 27, 2017 I'm watching yesterday's sprints now, but I still just don't get the point Why was this ever added? What's the 'extra' of it? It's exactly the same, but shorter. Why? It's not even really a sprint when it's a 'flying start', but the start is of course still just as important to build speed. After all this time I still don't get it. 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 10,179 Posted November 27, 2017 #53 Share Posted November 27, 2017 (edited) Luge just wants to get in on having multiple (almost) same events at the Olympics, like a lot of other winter sports already do (ski jumping, snowboarding, nordic combined...).

hckošice 13,217 Posted December 2, 2017 Author #56 Share Posted December 2, 2017 Just read something about the Women´s Doubles event to be introduced and contested in Beijing 2022. Apparently the FIL vicepresident Harald Steyer confirmed that yesterday to DPA agency . https://sport.aktuality.sk/c/308412/na-zoh-2022-v-pekingu-prvykrat-aj-zenske-dvojsedadlove-sane/ Gianlu33 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcro 10,179 Posted December 2, 2017 #58 Share Posted December 2, 2017 I imagine they want both women's doubles and women's sprint doubles. Because why not? We might as well have 9 luge events in Beijing. #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least natural luge is something rather different, but all those sprint things...and the basically non-existing women's doubles...dear lord 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!
