It’s a series of IBSF races in Yanqing that aren’t World Cup events, yet should feature many of the teams you’d expect to see on circuit. Good results for . We always do well on new tracks, where our main rivals don’t have the inherent advantage of long experience. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/winter-sports/59044540 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcro 10,172 Posted October 29, 2021 #13 Share Posted October 29, 2021 Our athletes were not in China. This actually gives me hope that they are already prepping for the qualifications in North America. By far the easiest qualification route. #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It depends on how crowded the Euro Cup and World Cup fields are. 68 points for a 20th place World Cup finish and 75 for a NA Cup win. You need to be at the top of the NA Cup to really cash in I think. “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

For reference, our 2-man crew qualified for Pyeongchang while counting some 13th places from the NA Cup (60 pts). #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was looking at last years results, and win only counted for 75 points. “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.
