I love the ice skating, the skiing, the luge. I'm looking forward to this. It'll be a nice respite between football and baseball.

Sounds like there was a very bad crash during luge practice. Being described as "horrific" and "life threatening".

He never had a chance. My thoughts and prayers go to his family and the citizens of Georgia.

either change the course to slow the speeds or cancel the luge and bobsled events

Ron C. Judd said it best in his book on the Winter Olympics:
"Bobsled, luge, and skeleton, the Winter Games' three sliding sports, are all events in which a person, given a bad twist of fate, can die."
A British luge racer was killed during a training run at the 1964 Winter Games in Innsbruck.

NBC already making me angry. Since they are showing ski jumping on TV (on about a 30 minute delay), they aren't showing it online. Now they are going to commercial every 5 minutes like its an NFL game.
So I went online and watched it on a Portuguese stream.

I heard about the luger as I was watching the opening ceremonies last night. I just watched the crash online on CBS. God how awful! I had heard the speed was over 90mph - after watching that, I believe it!
The opening ceremony was amazing! Those "whales" were awesome!

Their entire team should be disqualified, what a sorry display by South korea.
At least it cost them at least 2 medals.

If I was a knee surgeon, I would just follow the moguls competitions where ever they go.
