dcro 10,172 Posted January 13, 2018 #3 Share Posted January 13, 2018 Amazing, Italy will not compete in the two-man event for the first time since 1928. #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what a black german athlete ever won a medal at winter olympics. Richard Adjei won a silver in bobsleigh in 2010. Probably the only American Football player to ever be on the German bobsleigh team? 4 hours ago, dcro said: Amazing, Italy will not compete in the two-man event for the first time since 1928. Their program has gone way way downhill. Doesn't help that they don't have a home track (not sure if Cessana or Cortina are still used?) anymore. I love Simone as a driver but his body just isn't allowing him to be competitive anymore. 9 hours ago, dcro said: What a drama in Olympic qualification. Big battle between CAN/USA for 3rd sled finished with CAN winning. Jamaica moved into at least 13th place, so now even 9th wouldn't be enough for the Romanians. I was not expecting de Bruin to make it, especially not after all the mistakes she made in the first run and her shaky start to the second run. Made the Olympics by literally 0.16 seconds. She's very lucky to qualify (she only goes to Pyeongchang because Reinbolt wasn't allowed to race last week after crashing four times in training) but I'm still really happy for her, she's had a great season. Sad about the Romanian team, they deserve to go to the Olympics, but the Jamaicans have a strong team and it's exciting to see them qualify. Also, spare a thought for South Korea. They had a very strong bobsleigh program over much of the last quad, but they only qualified in two man as the host. What the heck happened?

They qualified as the host anyway, so didn't need to focus on the World Cup this season, so they have been getting in ten million runs in Pyeongchang, I guess Edited January 13, 2018 by heywoodu 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!
