As we all know the Olympics are going on right now with all the countries, it is something we all look forward to but this year it didn’t turn out as we thought it would. Many people watch a sport luging and are excited when it comes. A luger Nodar Kumaritashvili only 21 years old probably his second year in the Olympics or so was killed no one saw this coming many people cheer him on and are big luging fans of him, but that all ended in such a small time just a few weeks ago in winter Olympics on the fast track. He thought it would be a long Olympics but it happened in the very beginning in one of his first races.
What actually happened was on the fast track he was gaining much speed picking up to about 80 miles per hour and then suddenly flew off the side of the track on a sharp small turn and hit the landscape outside the track and died pretty fast after that and tried to be rushed to the hospital but didn’t make it.
I have a lot to say about this but basically my opinion is that there should have never ever had been landscape or concrete anything hard outside next to the track but should have been padding all around. Also the luger never had felt comfortable about riding this fast track he told his dad he was actually terrified. There are many different rumors going around about this but you have to go to a news website to here the real thing, there was a video all over the news on TV but has been taken off because of complaints from the IOC you can still see the video on certain news websites though.
