Hours before the Vancouver Winter Olympics are set to start it looks like Luger Nodar Kumaritashvili has, at best, been seriously injured during a practice run. It put's Lindsey Vonn's dodgy shin into perspective, but also begs the question are these games cursed from the off?
This is the third or fourth crash reported from the Whistler track this week (ominously all from leading contenders in the sport), which is reputed as the fastest in the world and which must now, have a serious question mark over it's 5 ringed head safety wise. Add this to the lack of snow at the snowboarding venue Cypress Mountain, and too much snow, and fog in Whistler and the odds are stacking up against the games. Here's hoping the slider is ok, and that the games go well from here.
