Hours before the opening ceremony, 21 year old Georgian Luger Nodar Kumaritashvili lost control going 144.3 km/h at the "Thunderbird" turn of the course. He flipped off the course and crashed into a pole. He was rushed to a hospital but has been declared dead.
With only a couple of hours before the events begin, it's a surprise that athletes are still pushing themselves to their limits during trial runs.
