Oh, my god.
This American woman, Samantha Retrosi, had this absolutely massive crash on the luge. She lost it on a curve, smacked her head and skidded the rest of the way down unconscious.

The slideshow is incredible too.

She's OK, by the way.

120 odd kays and clips the roof wearing nothing but a helmet and lycra, ouch.
Cringed when I first saw it on TV.

Wow, now thats a place to know some sense into you.
To every man upon this earth
Death cometh sooner or late
And how can a man die better
Than facing fearful odds
For the ashes of his fathers
And the temples of his Gods
Look Ma, no hands hehehe
Just wait til the "Skeleton" comes on... thats them riding that contraption on their bellys and head at the front of the machine. Now that is REAL scarey.
I know one of the kiwi's doing it in the womens section.
Her name is Louise.... so watch out for her and how she goes in it.
Its her first olympics and has been doing this for the past 5 years competing overseas - Europe, Canada and USA etc etc.
Skeleton is a mad sport and I told her that.. she laughed.... she has no fear and loves it... a real adrelian (sp) buzz.
Go Louise (Lou)
Who you gonna call!

DB is the new Porridge. Cause most of the mods must be sucking his cock ..... Or his giving them some oral help? How else can you explain it?
Wearing Hi-Viz Black.
Because if you are an experienced biker on this site, then wearing a helmet is all the protection that anyone needs...amazing

The winter olympics... THE BEST OLYMPICS!!!
Nobody running around in circles
Nobody playing tennis, basketball (paid professional sports - go figure) or especially SYNCHRONISED FUCKING SWIMMING!!!
Just high speed shit. Bobsled, luge, toboggan, slalom, Giant slalom, ski jumping!!! and interesting shit like biathalon (skiing AND shooting!!!).
Love it!

She was going pretty damn quick wasn't she? It's sickening when you see that limp body go hurtling past.
Along with the other sports (and don't gimme no shit) I admire those guys that do ice scating. Now before you start crying poofter and all that shit, think about it. Have ever tried to do a 1080 degree spin off the ground? And chucking those chicks around and then catching them? That take some strength (even though they probably are poofs - never seen a pairs partner get a woody ....)
They shall not grow old as we that are left grow old.
Age shall not weary them nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the evening,
we will remember them
Crikey!
Yeah that looked pretty nasty when she crashed alright.. They didn't say anything about her condition on tv last night so it's good to know she didn't get too nailed!
as Jeremy Clarkson said - 'luge - the only sport you can win when you're dead'
and i like the comment on the news - 'she suffered a little concussion'. she looked DEAD when she was sliding down the track!
