Congratulations to Matt Mortensen and Preston Grifall for winning the Nations
Cup Doubles Luge race in Igls, Austria.

Further congratulations to Julia Clukey for her Silver Medal in the Women's
Nations Cup event.

The World Cup event will take place tomorrow.  Good luck everyone!

Is Universal not going to cover the race anymore? Gordy, the FIBT website has a
page called in-demand - you can go there and watch the race. Can USLA do that as
well? Take the feed and load it?

They still have not loaded the bobsled race from Park City.

I think Kate and Emily are AMAZING !!!!  I just think that when you are that
sick, and having Lyme's turns your world upside down, you just can not give 100%
no matter how hard you try...  Ashley is an amazing athlete / slider and I hope
she can now come home, heal and then get back to it, like we know she can !!!! 
Anyway - just my opinion...  The Live feed and the Blog were AWESOME - It felt
like I was there. It really was so cool !!!

Hi Chris - A potential protest/appeal is totally Ashley's call. If she
felt or feels disadvantaged, she can make that choice. Personally, I think
you'd undercut the fantasic achievements of Kate, Megan and Emily. Knowing
Ashley, she'd be uncomfortable with that sort of attention in her name.
Plus, it would put her in a bad situation with her teammates. Just my two
cents.

It was an amazing race. I was blogging for the site during the racin a
loud room and feel bad for making some mistakes. Sorry if I upset anyone!
The World Cups should be interesting...

So we need to start a petition for Ashley - If you followed the Blog, they

So we need to start a petition for Ashley - If you followed the Blog, they just
announced that Ashley has Lyme's Disease. Not sure if anyone has had it but it
is BRUTAL!!! Several of my friends got it and a good day for them was when they
could get out of bed let alone race on a luge sled. USLA should give her a Bye
and let her race, let her switch in and out with Emily or Megan.....  What do
you all think? We can do it !!!

The one for the whistler race is not there yet.. Will check back tomorrow.
Thanks

I will check back tomorrow

I will check back tomorrow

If they take days
or weeks to load the race what good is that,and sometimes they ?don't even do
that. I think they are bidding now for rights for future Olympics , they should
let  some other  network have it. Might be as bad as NBC but I am willing to
give it a try... ps.com, "Jim Murphy" <jim_murphy@...> wrote:

Does anyone know how to watch the races on-demand from Universal.com? When I go
on the page it has: No scheduled races listed in the schedule section for luge
or Bobsled. I am trying to see the skeleton race from Park city that happen
today and yesterday and there is nothing there. Will this be the same for Luge?

For those considering our trip to Igls, there following web site will be a
useful resource for information.
