Can you point out a quote or clip that states they blame the track for the accident and that it wasn't a freak accident even if the track was dangerous?
Like I said there has been many stories on this track about how dangerous it is and so on yet NOBODY in ANY article I have seen mentions turn 16 or the metal beams on the side of the finish line. Why is that?
Being a fast, technical or dangerous track is nothing new to these athletes. Again, did this thing just open up a few days ago? Or years ago where plenty of lugers have done down?
Also you forget to mention in that same story they have a few of those same athletes who say "there are a
FEW tracks that scare me..." few meaning there is more than one that pushes the limits of the athlete.
Isn't that the point of the games? To push the athletes.
Why are lugers upset of the move of the start? Just for fun or because they except the risks involved with their sport.
