Would be interesting if our women's team made it to the Olympics before our men's team! :p

Wouldn't seem impossible with 10 teams.

I don't see the need for that, since women's hockey is still a 2-side game...

I'm watching the first semifinal (USA vs FIN) right now (I'm in the 2nd period, 7 mins still to be played)...and there's no match even at this stage...

frankly, I'm not interested at all in watching other games like GER vs SUI or RUS vs CZE in their female version...:sleep:

Its a 2 sided game but there is been huge progress in improvement.

Still only in the project phase? :facepalm:

 

Seriously, any nation that gets the Winter Olympics but doesn't have it's bobsled track up and running 3-4 years before the Olympics is just being plain stupid. That should be the very first priority in terms of building as soon as you've received the Olympic hosting rights. Beijing got the rights in 2015, now it's almost three years later and they could easily have already had hundreds of training runs on there, followed by 3-4 years of pure perfection in the race lines.

Also, no Kreisel. That track looks so insanely boring.
