There were quite a few last time iirc, though that might be because the Chinese made a particularly dangerous track
>>
When is Germany going to send their horses down on the sleds?
>>
I thought they used to show their speed
>>
what if a camera guy dropped his camera on the track and it hit the luger in the balls when he was going full speed lol
>>
Why aren't these Ukranians fighting?

god those drone noises

why are these ukranians wasting their time riding a sled down an ice track when their country is being invaded

I like seeing their bulge jiggle

You'd think the Russian lad would want to go faster to run away from the drone
>>
german dude must've been absolutely flyin if nobody is getting close
>>
what the fuck was that start you doofus
holy shit
and 2 more hits after that
jesus christ
>>
>fat ass falls off luge.
>>
Do the drones follow some computer route or is there someone flying them
>>
>>153302258
it would be really stupid to fly it by hand when the track doesn't change
>>
Wherein lies the skill?
>>
I always wish the sled events would have a minimap in the corner of the screen like it's Mario Kart.
>>
>>153302292
well if there wasn't, wouldn't the heaviest guy always win?
>>
how often do they clean the track
>>
>>153302213

>>153302312
I don't know, there's drag and shit.
>>
>>153302303
and banana peels

Is this already down to German + Austria being the only possible winners?
>>
>>153302292
>>153302312
Mostly comes down to the start.
>Get a lot of speed at the top without crashing into the sides
>Win
You see most of the sliders banging into the side and finishing a second behind.
>>
>>153302363
I'm guessing environmentalists would stop them from letting the lugers throw turtle shells at their competitors mid-run
>>
>>153301750
A guy got literally cut in half when he got thrown out of the track and hit a steel beam sideways.

Why are these dudes so fat, don’t you have to be athletic to be an olympian?

trump should have joined the skeleton team
with his fatness and sharting power, he would have achieved subsonic speeds

loch more like lost

Expected more from Felix

What does the athlete even do once it’s going?
>>
>track record
Let's go
>>
>Smack the wall at the start
>Smack it again sliding sideways halfway down
>Track record
wtf
>>
This Germ hit the sides but he absolutely flew down, is something sus going on?

Penis weighting injections?
>>
>>153303564
i am currently sitting on my cough at subsonic speeds
>>
>>153303654
isn't this a new course so there should be new records all the time?
>>153303629
?
>>
>>153303649
They shift their weight which causes the runners to bend. At the same time they're trying to stay as aero as possible
>>
Is this one of those sports where the best of the best are simply the best that tried it? You know what i mean? Like there are so few people doing it that a Slovak going 90km/h is somehow still the 6th best in the world?
>>
>>153303713
no, there's a reason 2 countries are dominating all the sledding sports
if it was that easy, more people and countries would do it to get a free ticket to olympics
>>
>>153303713
>>153303751
It fucks with your spine and you lose like 2" of height over a career. So only tall countries try it.

Also what you said implies there's a bob track in every city come one

Well there probably isn’t a professional league for this stuff so he’s gotta do something for work

U. S. A.
>>
>>153303856
it's like that for most olympic sports, both winter and summer ones
there's a very limited amount of people who can live through lesser sports.
>>
We’re more of a Summer Olympics nation anyway
>>
>>153303886
So yeah there are probably millions people that would beat WR had they had the chance to get good at the sport
Like the Swedish competitors are the son and daughter of the PRESIDENT OF THE SWEDISH BOB ASSOCIATION!!!!
>>
>>153303946
Well yeah but most people wouldn’t care or bother if there is no career with money involved in getting good at a meme sport

They all just hid it better.
>>
Business idea: add jumps
>>
>>153303946
it's a niche sport, you have to have interest to try
but that doesn't mean those are shitters that could be beat by random people that haven't tried
it's even tougher with bobsledding since you can't just go and try it. they make special tryouts and look for people with predispositions to it too.
think of it like this: theres a small number of people who are jet pilots, but that doesn't mean a rando could go and be good at flying
>>
>hyman
hehehehe
>>
>>153304031
A rando could go and be good at flying

They don’t choose jet pilots based on flying skill. Otherwise they’d just go for gliding youth talents.
>>
>>153304076
>A rando could go and be good at flying
i disagree
>>
>>153304027
I will now watch your sport.
>>
>>153304097
Gliding champion pilots have completely varied proportions.
>>
>>153304027
And rocket boosters
>>
>>153304140
but that's more like a hobby
they have the skill and if you'd want to make jet pilots out of them, you'd work on their bodies
>>
What is the cutoff position
>>
>>153304191
Gliding is actually flying.
Jet piloting is just landing and taking off while hitting a button inbetween getting carried by an engine. Most idiots could do it, see George W. Bush Jr. being one.
>>
>gufler can barely speak italian
KWAB
literally southern austrians
>>
That's a wrap, no one died so I'm disappointed
Time for homos and femboys on ice
>>
>>153304221
all of them ride the 3rd run and top 20 in the final one
>>
I would like to remind everyone there is nothing gay about doubles luge.
>>
>>153306086
men’s luge doubles are the straightest and chaddest athletes at the olympics. probably tag teaming all the female athletes (no gay stuff tho of course)
