Georgia louge racer died.

In a training run. Bummer. If anyone has a link, post. I'm not i any mood to look.

I read about it in wikipedia. He was younger than me so by extension younger than you, Kenzu and BC. That's pretty sad.

I saw it on the news(the accident) pretty shoking, going with 140 km per hour and then fall against a pole, ouch.

Yea I saw it too. I found comic relief when they had to say "Georgia the country" on the news. Silly Americans.

Maybe someone in Georgia, US was already sliting his/her wrists fearing that one of their family members had died. jk

Not even wit such tragic news can news keep serious with that.

"What? Why dose Georgia get their own Olympic team and not [random state]?"

Who the hell puts a metal pole beside a luge track? Tehy could've padded it, made padded walls, etc.
Completely preventable.
Guilty of criminal negligence.

Well at those speeds I'm gonna guess padding wouldn't have helped.

I blame the Russians. That was the first thing I said when I heard about that

(trying to make light of the situation)

You had to go there.

Well, its typical behavior. I was watching CNN and when the mention the luge racer, the first thing they mention is the war.
What can I say.

And I was watching the opening ceremony, every time an ex-Soviet state entered they said stuff like newly gained freedom and more bull like that. And they couldn't even pronounce many eastern European flag bearers. Ive gotten used to it.

GO FRANCE

Well, I just hope no other tragedies like this happen again. Thats a really, really sad thing.

GO FRANCE?
What?

Well here they're doing suprisingly well at pronouncing names.

GO DDR!!!!! EAST GERMANY 4 LIFE!!11!11!11!!1!

France didn't bring many people, and they're doing exceptionally well for their number. At one point, they were first.

Oh no they couldn't pronounce names. This is new? And what was with that youtube clip?

I said I've gotten use to it, its not new. Its just how badly they pronounced many of them, NHL commentators do 8912728 x of a better job.
Just a video.

Holland already got one golden medal, probably the second is coming soon. We rule at ice skating(not the dance, but just skate on the ice, like for 1 km or something, that stuff).

Because they're always hearing and saying the names. Most news commentors don't. It's a... training thing.

Well get the NHL commentators to do it, or train the Olympic commentators, remember, THESE ARE THE OLYMPICS!

Whoopie? They're the regular commentors. Why should they be replaced?

They're not regular commentators.
