It was deemed the most dangerous track in the world

Absolutely brutal to watch... Really just forces you to acknowledge how vulnerable we really are.

Shit ... poor young man

we're such fragile creatures, here is a horrific reminder.

The Georgian Olympic delegates received a standing ovation when they entered the arena. Good for them.

Wow that video gave me chills. Prays go out to his family and team. RIP Nodor

I do question the intelligence of mounting anchored steel beams next to the track like that. It looked like the beams were in place only to support the roof over the track.

Not sure how that should be configured, but I have a good idea of how it shouldn't be.

Wow, just wow.

Maybe I should laugh at this, but maybe I just watched a 21 year old man die...

and..... He made a choice. I would feel bad but if you chose to participate in these kinds of activities then you know ahead of time what the possible results could be. I have to agree not a good idea to construct the way they did but its a little late for that thought process now isn't it. Best wishes to his family but somehow i just dont think that saying that is going to help anyone or anything now is it.
