Sat down a little bit ago with USA Skeleton's Nick Tucker to talk about how he got into skeleton, plus golf, dogs and what it's like to date someone on tour. I hope you enjoy!

Court of Arbitration for Sport has rejected Ukrainian skeleton athlete Vladyslav Heraskevych's lawsuit against the IOC and IBSF:
"We confirm that freedom of expression is allowed at the Olympics, but not at the competition venue." - CAS Secretary General Matthew Reeb.
Shame!

Also, know the talk is always about how cool the paint jobs are on the skeleton helmets, but Janine Flock's got a SUPER reflective chrome helmet she's used for years.
As a photographer I love that thing.
This is a great shot from IBSF photographer Viesturs Lacis

If you’re wondering how close today’s monobob race was over 3 1/2 miles of sliding, the IBSF has this handy image for you.
Elana beats Laura by a few feet, and Kaillie by about a sled length.

Just before the first heat of men’s skeleton, Heraskevych posted to Instagram a photo of himself coming up the outramp wearing his helmet with the caption: “This is the price of our dignity”

Folks have asked me about the issues with pilots hitting the wood panels on the exit of Curve 4, and Viesturs Lacis (the IBSF photographer) got this photo that kind of explains what's happening.
So here's a thread about how/why that happens and why it's not *really* a flaw in the track design.

Women's skeleton first heat about to get underway from Winterberg, 29 in the field, should be a good race!

No surprise here but skeleton athlete Jacqueline Pfeifer is retiring.
Jacka ends her career a 3x Olympic medalist (silver '18/bronze 2x '26), 3x overall World Cup champ, 14x World Cup gold medalist, 3x World Champs silver medalist (plus 1 of each medal in the team event)
Great slider, great person

Weil ich die Unterscheidung wichtig finde: Heraskevych wurde nicht vom IOC gesperrt, sondern von der IBSF (International Bob Sledge Federation) - mit Bezug auf die Regel 50 der Olympischen Charta. Denn Ausrichter der Wettbewerbe bei den Olympischen Spielen sind die jeweiligen Weltverbände.

Der Skeleton-Fahrer Vladyslav Heraskevych wird disqualifiziert, weil er einen Helm trägt auf dem die Portraits getöteter ukrainischer Athlet*innen zu sehen sind.
Das IOC führt hier die Regel 50 der Olympischen Charta an, nach der Athlet*innen politische Statements untersagt sind.

Some extra information on this: The Brits showed up to St. Moritz with these new helmets, that apparently are incorporating some cycling helmet elements.
IBSF told them no, there was an appeal to the IBSF appeals board, that was shot down, and now they won't be used in the Olympics either.

The International Bobsleigh & Skeleton Federation's ban on the British Bobsleigh & Skeleton Association skeleton helmets was upheld by CAS on Saturday.
BBSA's helmets were found to have an aerodynamic advantage outside of current IBSF rules.

The skeleton portion of the Olympic sliding program kicks off tomorrow morning at 3:30 AM ET with men's skeleton. The medal rounds will be Friday at 1:30 PM ET.

And if you want the view of down the track in Cortina d'Ampezzo, here's a POV bobsled run courtesy of the IBSF.
You'll notice that through 10 and 14 there there's a few roof hits. Expect this in four-man and *maybe* 2-woman & 2-man. You shouldn't see it in skeleton or luge.
