The single largest event in the first hours of the Games has been the death of Georgian luger Nodar Kumaritashvili, who died today during a training run at Whistler hours before the opening ceremonies. Kumaritashvili was rounding a steep turn, at speeds reported around 88 mph, when he came off his sled and hit a metal pole. Luge training has been suspended indefinitely.
Romanian luger Racula Stramaturaru is seen in these photos losing control of her sled during a women’s training run at Whistler on Thursday evening. Her sister Violetta Stramaturaru is also seen loing control of her sled during training; American Julia Clukey hits speeds over 140 kph.
