Winter
Olympics... An horrific 90mph luge accident. Nodar Kumaritashvili flew
off the track and into a metal pole in Whistler, Canada, as he
completed the second of two training runs. The crash happened hours
before the opening ceremony, which was dedicated in his honour. A
minute's silence was also observed for Kumaritashvili. The Olympic and
Canadian Flags were lowered to half mast while the Georgian athletes
placed a black patch on their national flag.
