Kendija Aparjode, a Latvian luge athlete, has experienced a wide range of results in six official training runs on the Olympic track in Cortina. Notably, she achieved the second-best performance in one of the runs while also facing challenges with a significantly poor result in another. Despite these fluctuations, Aparjode emphasizes that training results don’t reveal the full potential of the athletes, as major outcomes will be determined during the competition itself.

Aparjode pointed out challenging spots on the track but expressed a general liking for its structure. The fourth curve of the track emerges as a crucial point, especially since mistakes made here can have significant repercussions on speed and performance in the subsequent sections of the run. She suggested that while mistakes in the lower part of the track might not be as detrimental due to higher speeds, it's always better to avoid errors altogether.

Throughout the season, many of Aparjode’s teammates have experimented with different techniques and sleds to optimize their performance, but she has chosen to stick with her single sled. She revealed that they made new adjustments to her sled design at the beginning of the season, indicating a pragmatic approach towards her training and competition strategy.
