The organisers at Winter Olympics in Vancouver have shortened the luge track for both men and women as an extra safety precaution, following the death of Nodar Kumaritashvili. Training resumed at the Sliding Center, although the town of Whistler, which is also staging bobsleigh, downhill and Nordic events, remained in mourning on Saturday. For more analysis of tragic accident in Canada, RT talks to luge expert at Canadian CTV Chris Wightman.

If it wasn’t for Canada you wouldn’t have maple syrup to put on your pancakes. Oh and he died doing something dangerous. Last time I checked dangerous things ussual claim lives… This may be the first luge accident, but it doesn’t mean the track, track workers or designers are at fault. That would be like saying a vehicle with a 5 star crash rating is garanteed to save you in a accident… there’s a risk in doing anything, people know this and act accordingly.
I guess he just wasnt as good as people said he was. He was a russian, and he screwed up and paid the price for it. Just glad that it didnt happen to a great American!!

That comment is over a month old for fuck’s sake. get over yourself troller.
I dub you Sir Loser.
Eat a dick, and keep pretending we don’t own your country.
@MKYAlexander Please stop argueing your arguing on something like this! this is made history! this is horribly sad…please stop arguing on this what if the familys saw this!
@NORTHinuit excellent retort
@PimpinLif3 five replies in 20 minutes means he needs to get laid? how do you deduce that?
@PimpinLif3 no, canada is not the greatest… don’t pull this patriotism BS
why the hell did they put scented candles on his coffin anybody noticed that
@ShogaNinja you don’t contribute to any sense involving logic i wouldn’t be surprised if you were retarded
heyaso bored any guys want to rescue me
“i don’t think it’s dangerous.” someone call OSHA.
@ShogaNinja There is no we in US.
Heartbreaking. A least he died doing what he loved!! RIP xx
Russians.
poor guy he didn’t even get to compete in the olympics (he died practicing)
@televizakis So your saying it was murder, I don’t see that possible, I was saying it was a tragic accident, and bad thing’s happen to good people.
@DavidX710 Let’s leave it at manslaughter. Very unfortunate and it should never have happened. I was in Vancouver right before the Olympics for work and I commented at that opening to my colleague where the accident occured. How come I saw the problem and the architects never did?
let me get this straight. the guy who died is from the team georgia…as the united state georgia? or is it georgia from somewhere else? at the parade they were a team by itself not part of team usa. some1 help out…..
@grindcore4 georgia is a country you fucking idiot
Better Georgia wished they invested in more then a plastic bucket for this poor guy to slide on…
@Seabeaux13 i didnt kno there was 1 the same as from the states u fuckin homo
