No one but a Canadian could screw things up this bad.

Hype urinalism sells.

If he said, dumb idiot tried to push it to the max first time down and
mad a darwin mistake and hit the steel post and died, how would that
sound? Would it sell?

And those sleds have brakes...or should.

But does look like the Canadian track has any give to speeders that is
for sure. Using brakes and finishing might get you 1/2 way to gold.

The reason the kid didn't have enough practice time is your Government
is restricting Ice, track, and hill time to foreign athletes in a cheap
attempt to win more medals. Several countries have filed complaints in
the last week or so. It's dirty pool, and now it cost some poor kid his
life, shame on your Olympic organization, cheaters suck...

What a cop out. If they were serious, I think the track was open last
year and earlier this year. Does not make sense o let late comers
unneccessarily chew up the track with 50 runs when it takes so long to
make it right.

And you missed the point here, he was on a test run.... so your
arguement is baseless.

Well, I don't know about baseless, but maybe irrelevant. As I have been typing and reading here, my real problem is
with the International Olympic Committee, and possibly the coaching staff.

The problem is they restricted practice time to other teams in an effort
to give Canada an unfair advantage.

Well, they can slow down by shifting body weight and lifting the nose of the sled. But if they are gonna' do that, they
should choose another sport

Well, it seems that the Canadians have been refusing practice time to
other countries on several of the local venues and events, to try to
boost their usual poor medal performance. That is unreal, to cheat like
that. Our Athletes should walk, leave them and NBC reeling in the
breeze...

Too bad, spoofer, that it was INEXPERIENCE that killed the guy. He
SHOULD have let go of the sled like he's supposed to.But you, on your
" tirade" would try to make it political. Go get stuffed.

And it was pretty obvious he entered the curve too low.
