How much build are Canada and the US getting before the opening ceremony? UK coverage starts at 1:45am, which is 5:45pm Vancouver time. CTV, the host broadcaster, has been Olympics all day today, but I am watching the local, Vancouver affiliate. strong coverage of the accident, but also lots of the-torch-is-now-here stuff too. CTV Sportsnet? Don't know...

So did he pretty much hit the beam headfirst at 100+mph? R.I.P

Firstly, the death of the luger today was totally needless. May he rest in peace.
We are approaching the opening ceremonies...can't wait!

From what I've heard they will do everything in in their power to make the track safer. Such an unfortunate accident and my heart goes out to his family. Hopefully the Games can carry on without anymore accidents like this. I concur with your RIP... Local reporters at the crash site are speculating that they might put up an extra few feet of plexiglas or Hockey arena glass, but they are just guessing...Nothing has been announced about a possible fix yet... CTV aired the statements by the IOC live, and aside from the expressions of regret at the accident--Rogge almost cried--they deferred lots of comments about the accident itself until the investigation is done. Georgian athletes are still scheduled to march in the athlete's parade, says the local TV reporter who is down there...

I just saw the video of the luger's death and.....how the f*** could anyone not catch such a design flaw? The turn that caused his crash was too sharp of a turn to be taking at the speeds he was going at.
And I can't even begin to describe the actual crash. It is too shocking. May Nodar rest in peace. He was only 21 and was doing what he loved.

The BBC coverage starts straight off with the luge death, they're not showing it.

Channel 9 in Australia have started their coverage. Looks like they are just showing highlights from previous events at the moment.
Missed the start so I don't know if they mention Nodar Kumaritashvili at all.

WrestleMania would look amazing in that stadium, no wonder Vancouver is bidding for it.

This is very quickly turning into a multi-million dollar version of a Klaxons video.
