Nodar Kumaritashvili, a 21-year-old hopeful from the Republic of Georgia, lost control of his sled, went over a track wall, and struck an unpadded steel pole at high-speed during a training run at Whistler Sliding Center
early Friday. The young athlete was taken to hospital with blood pouring from a head wound after trackside emergency treatment, but doctors were unable to save his life. Video that showed Kumaritashvili flying out of his luge and slamming into the pole at nearly 90 mph has been removed from YouTube and is quickly disappearing from other video sharing sites around the Web.
Olympic competition in Men’s Luge is scheduled to begin Saturday, but questions about the track’s safety plague the aspiring medalists.

今年的溫哥華冬季奧運，有很多「意外」，就連原本該是歡欣喜氣的開幕典禮，也因喬治亞選手庫瑪瑞塔希維里意外身亡，蒙上淡淡哀愁。

21歲的庫瑪瑞塔希維里原本要參加冬奧男子雪橇比賽，但他昨天在世界最快的軌道惠斯勒滑雪中心練習時，高速撞上軌道牆壁，彈起後再飛越對面護欄，撞上一根未加襯墊的鋼柱而喪生。

庫瑪瑞塔希維里在滑行到接近終點的倒數第二個轉彎時失控，當時速度約89.4哩（約144.3公里），是他6次練習中速度最快的一次。

急救人員和醫生在數秒鐘內到達現場，為他施行壓迫胸部和嘴對嘴復甦術，並迅速把他空運至惠斯勒的外傷中心，但急救無效。

這是史上，第四位在冬奧中死亡的選手，也是1992年以來第一位在訓練時死亡的選手。
