I've seen alot of Luge in past Olympics but that guy was going at an Insanely Fast speed

hock: Very Very sad, Whoever designed that track and not put padding on that line of steel posts is beyond an idiot :rambo:
I will not give up. My face is set,my gait is fast,my goal is heaven,my road is narrow,my way is rough,my companions are few,my guide is reliable,my mission is clear. I cannot be bought,compromised,detoured,lured away,turned back,diluted or delayed. I will not flinch in the face of sacrifice,hesitate in the presence of adversity,negotiate at the table of the enemy,ponder at the pool of popularity,or meander in the maze of mediocrity. I will not give up,shut up or slow down....Blessed Be!

Not to mention, that apparently, this is the fastest luge track in the world, with competitors reaching speeds of up to and OVER 90mph!

I'm just glad Brian Williams is still working the Olympics. Hands down he's my favorite Olympic broadcaster, they just wouldn't be the same without him.

Saw a gal on CBC Newsworld wearing crazy leather boots while reporting on the Olympics... made the East Indian guy next to her very uncomfortable. She was smokin' hot, but then again I'm perverted. Anyone know who I'm talking about? And how about Arnold and his torch carry the other day? Anyone see my SALT trailer in the Tragically Hip discussion section by any chance? HAHA. Arnold rules!

I don't understand why they got Wayne Newton to sing Hallelujah.
