First death at the Olympics - Seventh-day Adventists' Leading Forum

Welcome with open arms fellow believers who don’t see things the way you do.
And don’t jump all over them every time they do or say something you don’t agree with
– even when it seems that they are strong on opinions but weak in the faith department.
Remember, they have their own history to deal with. Treat them gently. Romans 14.1: The Message

Amelia Here Forever, by Request :) Registered: 2001-07-30 Posts: 20619 Loc: Out standing in a field	I just saw the video of this accident. I recommend not watching it, nor letting kids see it. Quite horrifying. Very, very sad. Also several other lugers have been hurt training on this very fast track. One young man was even knocked unconscious.

Amelia Here Forever, by Request :) Registered: 2001-07-30 Posts: 20619 Loc: Out standing in a field	Men's Olympic lugers will start lower on track By TOM WITHERS, AP Sports Writer Tom Withers, Ap Sports Writer – 30 mins ago WHISTLER, British Columbia – International luge officials are moving the start of the men's Olympic luge competition farther down the track. It was a decision made with the "emotional component" of athletes in mind following the death of a Georgian competitor. Men's training on Saturday morning, as well as all four runs of the men's competition that begins later, will take place from the women's start ramp. The move means speeds will be a bit lower at the Whistler Sliding Track. It likely also means the course will be a bit easier to navigate. American luger Tony Benshoof navigated the 16 turns without incident _________________________ "Do not use harmful words, but only helpful words, the kind that build up and provide what is needed, so that what you say will do good to those who hear you."
