Well. According to my calculations: Australian = Australia Austrian = Austria Therefore: Canadian = Canadia.
If you read on the very page you posted a link to, you would realize her name is Kathryn. Aka, Katie.
Yes, I did in fact read the page, I'm just pointing out the fact that she uses the stage name k.d. lang.
I don't care of Winter Olympic Games. I just think that track is dangerous. I'll quote an article, just to make sure I'm not saying crazy words: Before the incident, British skeleton slider Amy Williams told BBC Sport: "I just hope Whistler is safe and that there aren't too many crashes and serious injuries." Australia's Hannah Campbell-Pegg added: "I think they are pushing it a little too much. "To what extent are we just little lemmings that they just throw down a track and we're crash-test dummies? I mean, this is our lives." Their comments followed earlier accidents, including one involving gold medal favourite Armin Zoeggeler of Italy and several during women's luge training runs on Wednesday. Among those who crashed, Romania's Violeta Stramaturaru was knocked unconscious for a few minutes and taken to hospital. The track is where British competitor Adam Rosen crashed during training in October last year. He suffered a dislocated hip as well as nerve and tendon damage. Canadian officials denied extra training runs to U.S. lugers but gave extra track time to Russian lugers in exchange for extra runs at the 2014 Winter Games in Sochi, Russia. Walden estimated he has had about 50 runs on the track while Canadians might be closer to 500..
I'm living right in Vancouver as well. It's been almost 10 years of build up to this. It's pretty exciting !
There isn't a luge run in the world that isn't potentially fatal. Singling one out as being dangerous would be like calling one specific tank full of man-eating sharks dangerous and assuming the others aren't.
Exactly! I mean im sorry for the dude but its a dangerous sport. You have to be good if you want to be great! And padding? What would padding do to try and stop a 150 lb person going into a STEEL barrier at ~90 mph....Sorry, but you took the risk
I guess that's the kind of benefits you get after spending billions of dollars to set the Olympics up in your city. Kinda lame that they're doing deals with Russia in order to get more track time there, though.
