No no, not for me, but for my Winter Olympian Duff. Apparently the Luftansa airline lost his and his team mate Paul Boehm’s sled runners about a month ago. These runner things apparently can take months to break in, so Duff and Paul are working on, um, regaining their edge.
Wow, this is just like when my friend Ellie had to break in new shoes real quick, before her Ironman race. Only maybe a little more pressure…
Hmmm, maybe we should be generous and give some of our competitors new runners, too? So they don’t feel left out?

LUFTANSA lost the sleds????
I’m surprised. You’d think they’d be so organised, like German trains.
And usually lost luggage is found within 48 hours in the airline industry. I wonder if these were deliberately stolen as collector’s items?
