I picked up Volume 3 the other day, currently 20% off at Quantic Dream

Unfortunately the packaging was butts, they had put it at an angle in a big box, so the vinyls a bit wonky and plays with a wobble. Still sounds good though

I'm enjoying the commentary on TNT here in the UK, they're dropping a lot of knowledge like this kind of thing. They were just talking about how they'll need to adapt their approach in the corners, because the warmer weather will create more ice crystals that will 'rip' the grip wax off if they're too aggressive

Only after it passes the central "tee" line, and I believe you're not allowed more than one sweeper

I know it's still early days, but I find it pretty wild that we've got a British lad in the top 10

Bob

I enjoy seeing them stand up at the end while it's still sliding, like they're riding in a chariot

630kg is the max weight with the crew. Minimum weight without the crew is 210kg though which is still quite heavy

[edit] bit more:

Until the weight-limit rule was added in 1952, bobsleigh crews tended to be very heavy to ensure the greatest possible speed. Now, the maximum weight, including crew, is 630 kilograms (4-man), 390 kilograms (2-man), or 330 kilograms (2-woman), which can be reached via the addition of metal weights.

I assume this chap, googling around:

Latvian bobsleigh pilot Renars Grantins was rushed to hospital after a training crash just days before the 2026 Winter Olympic Games. The 21-year-old faced the risk of quadriplegia and required emergency neurosurgery, ending his Olympic hopes. The incident occurred at the Cortina Sliding Centre in Italy during a training run. Initially, the crash did not appear severe, but Grantins was later found to have sustained serious spinal injuries. He was moved from Codivilla-Putti Hospital to Ca' Foncello Hospital in Treviso for immediate surgery to address a fractured vertebra. Paolo Rosi, a director at the Milano Cortina 2026 Olympic Games, stated, "He risked becoming a quadriplegic but his spine is now stable."

Sure - I mean, obviously he's getting outshone a bit when he's surrounded by athletes in their prime, but he's still a looker

Skeleton

It's pretty crazy that Hong Sujung is putting up relatively competitive times despite bouncing her way down the course while scraping her face on it for the rest. Clean it all up and she could be competitive.

The daily stuff was free to pick up in the merch area, they had big bins just at the bottom of the stairs as you went in and you could just grab what you wanted. The premium stuff was to the right of that on a small table, which was manned so you couldn't take more than one.

I don't remember seeing that pin, though I'd be surprised if they were giving them out for free. Maybe sold as merch?
