A moment of silence please.....

I am sure that by now you have heard that of the death at the 2010 Vancouver Olympics. Nodar Kumaritashvili was a 21 year old luge compedetor from the country of Georgia. Eli and I were watching the watched parts of the opening ceremonies but totally missed the part about the Nodar, we were watching the news when they covered it. I was sick when we heard about it. I feel so sad for his team mates but most of all for his parents. To be so proud of your sons accomplishments and on his last run through before the opening ceremony on one of the last turns it all was over. What an emotional roller coaster. We will keep his family in our thoughts and prayers and ask you to do the same.
The turn that cost him his life. The Olympic Committee has decided to make that wall higher, and that it was athlete error not the course. It was back open the next day. We would like to wish the other luge athlete good luck!!
