Not funny, Nodar died. What kind of person are you to make jokes of such a tragedy.
 
Nice run by Riesch considering the bad conditions :eek:

Nice gesture by Vonn as well!
well to be fair not really. She held her line up well but didn't do much in attack in the 2nd run.

someone who really impressed me was Goergl, what a run from her! Sure she was lucky by starting so early in the 2nd run before weather and sight turned for the worse.

And Anja Pärson did her last olympics today, so sad to see her leave the scene :(

Bye Anja what a legend!

Well he was talking about (4 man) Bobsleigh not luge. Fortunatly the 4 man Bob seems to be not that dangerous, and no1 got injured badly afaik.

But yeah tbh they should stop the competition, be4 some1 else gets hurt!

some see Ger ahead of the USofA and... some don't ?
 
Well that depends pretty much on whom you ask:P

In North America (USA and Canada) normaly the totaly number is counted.
However more common (rest of the world) is either the lexicographical order (unofficialy used by IOC as well, first only the gold medals count, if equal then silver etc...) or a weighted system like 5 (or 10) points for gold, 3 (or 5) for silver and 1 for bronze.

EDIT: So yeah ouside of NA were on top taki :P
