Just watching the skeleton bob. It seems like the home athletes have a massively unfair advantage, since every track is different and the visiting athletes only get 6 practices to try and beat someone who's done the course thousands of times. The most successful men's skeleton bob....er(?) was beaten by a Canadian in Vancouver, a Russian in Sochi, and is currently being beaten by a Korean, which seems to suggest that's the case.
ETA: The second Korean was ranked 24 in the world and has just gone into 4th.
