First Olympic Fatality in 46 years

Don't be silly. Asher is speaking in the most strict sense. So a bunch of Israelis hardly matter.

There were more than Israelis killed in violence related to the Olympics. Others much, much more recently. Not that Americans matter to you. I'm going to assume by you omitting mentioning them that you hate Americans.

Note that I know you secretly wish you were American and have a genuinely creepy obsession with right-wing Americans, and because I know you are mentally challenged I feel I must spell this out to you.

I just want to repeat my giant "**** you" to you for trying to politicize this. This has **** all to do with Israel, take your agenda and shove it, Winston.

Peace out.

[Winston]

See?

[Asher]

We see you, Winston. And we pity you.

Winston, I've created a thread for you to continue whining about Israel in so you can leave this one alone: http://www.apolyton.net/forums/showthread.php?p=5750796

I'm not the one acting like a spoiled little brat who doesn't know history.

Are you seriously having ****ing difficulty understanding what I said?

I know very well what happened in Munich, and just last month I watched "Munich". Who the **** doesn't know about that? Further still, if I was referring to terrorism related to the Olympics I could also have talked about Atlanta's bombing, which wasn't too long ago.

If you continue to have difficulty with this ****ing basic distinction, keep it to yourself. You made yourself clear -- people died in Munich decades ago in an act of terrorism. THANK YOU FOR YOUR INPUT. Now move on. Christ.

My cousin's friend's dog's former owner had an Aunt Sally who choked on a corn dog at the LA Olympics.

Athlete Deaths Rare During Olympics
From Sunstroke to Ski Crashes, at Least 5 Other Olympians Have Died Before Training Accident Claimed Georgian Luger

A Georgian luger's death hours before Friday's opening ceremony of the Winter Olympics adds another name to the brief list of athletes who died during the Games.

Nodar Kumaritashvili died Friday after a crash while training in Vancouver. At least five other Olympians have died during the quadrennial meeting of the world's greatest athletes.

Two athletes - including a luger - died while training at the 1964 Innsbruck Winter Olympics, historian David Wallechinsky told The (Montreal) Gazette. Kazimierz Kay-Skrzypeski, a Polish-born British luger, died while training on the Olympic course in Austria two weeks before the opening ceremony, Wallechinsky told the newspaper. Also at the '64 Games, Ross Milne, a 19-year-old Australian downhill racer, died after slamming into a tree when he flew off course during a training run.

During the 1992 Albertville Games, Swiss speed skier Nicolas Bochatay died after colliding with a snow-grooming machine during a practice run.

In competition during the Summer Games, Knut Jensen, a Danish cyclist, died after fracturing his skull when he collapsed during a road race at the 1960 Rome Olympics. It was found that Jensen took stimulants before the race, Wallechinsky told the newspaper. In Sweden's 1912 Olympics, Francisco Lazaro, a 21-year-old marathon runner representing Portugal, died a day after he collapsed from sunstroke and heart trouble.

To be sure, Olympians don't die only from accidents on the playing field. During the 1972 Munich Olympics, the Palestinian terrorist group Black September killed 11 members of Israel's team after holding them hostage.

Look, now you can be ****ing happy, Winston. Someone mentioned it in a footnote in the article. But it's clearly not in the same category as sporting deaths. That was an act of terrorism.

Do you need more help understanding this? I suggest you PM someone else if you need help on this.

Proving Asher wrong, once again.

[Asher]

Where the **** did all the smart people go?

nye, see if you can help me round up and evict these foreigners.

[notyoueither]

I'm watching the opening ceremonies to make sure none of the Danes have stolen rocks and hidden them under their parkas.

It's a damn shame that a person is taken so soon. I don't think I would enjoy doing luge, but he did enjoy it.
I'm sure it will cast a certain amount of gloom over the whole Olympics, and that's a shame for the city and the competing athletes.

RIP
