      Pretty rare considering the risks of some sports.

        But this is only one meet every four years. If you look up athlete's deaths at any time, you'll fine more than you'd like to see.
        It's almost as if all his overconfident, absolutist assertions were spoonfed to him by a trusted website or subreddit. Sheeple

          True enough, but 154km/h downhill on ice!

            It's actually the second one in a row for Canada. Calgary had a snow grooming machine crush an Austrian doctor.
            Scouse Git (2) La Fayette Adam Smith Solomwi and Loinburger will not be forgotten.

              SPORTING DEATHS. NOT DEATHS RELATED TO AN OLYMPICS. An Olympian died during the Olympics in 1992 also, but not while competing/training.

                Whoever designed the Vancouver track made a huge mistake. It's way too fast and unsafe.

                  If only the luge wasn't manufactured by Toyota, he could have braked.
                  One day Canada will rule the world, and then we'll all be sorry.

                    He was crushed by a snow grooming machine while the Olympics were on.

                    Vancouver needs one more to take the title as the deadliest Canadian Olympic venue from Calgary.

                        You might have figured this out earlier if you'd let other teams practice on it.

                          Also, Asher is totally wrong on the length of time since the last Olympic fatality. The last one was Nicholas Bochatay, a Swiss skier, in 1992.

                              He was an Olympian who died during the Olympics, but on a public slope and not as part of a competition or on Olympic facilities.

                              I was just repeating the claim I'd heard on the news. Which is true in the most strict sense only, it seems.

                                You are truly a scumbag. Just saying. I genuinely mean it. You are a terrible person who will burn in hell for all of eternity.
