Elīna Ieva Bota, a Latvian luger, is currently competing in the Olympic women's singles events, where she has completed two out of four runs and ranks third. Her performance has been strong, as she set start records in both runs, finishing fifth in the first and third in the second. However, she acknowledges that there is room for improvement in her times, especially at the finish line.

During her first run, Bota encountered mistakes in the seventh and fourteenth curves, which she managed to correct in her second run. Despite these improvements, she admits to encountering other errors that were not visible on camera, indicating that she still has areas to work on. The luger emphasizes the importance of maintaining composure during competition, referring to the need to “stay cool-headed” as she prepares for the remaining runs. The pressure of the Olympic stage makes every detail crucial, and Bota is focused on refining her skills further.

As the competition progresses, Bota's cautious approach may serve as an advantage in such a high-stakes environment. The fact that the Olympic track is exceptionally fast adds to the challenge, making precise control and execution even more critical. With two runs remaining, observers will be watching closely to see if Bota can improve her times and secure a favorable position in the overall standings as the Olympic champion will be determined based on the cumulative results of all runs.
