I think it's complete BS that the luging start was moved down one tier.

Now it's gone from technically challenging to...well, not a challenge at all.

Just another day on the practice course or what not.

The addition of that wall was more than sufficient to prevent any more deaths from that particular mode of failure. They don't need to ruin the olympic experience for everyone else.
