imamaryanneMy family has always been kind of Olympic crazy. My oldest sister is a skeleton slider and made it to the Olympic trials, though she didn't make the Olympic team.
At first I was disappointed because I wanted to go watch her race in Vancouver so so so badly. Now I'm glad. This track is fucking dangerous. A Georgian luger just died in training. The best lugers and sliders in the world have been crashing and injuring themselves on this track since training began last week. Curve eleven is probably the deadliest one.
WTF Vancouver? I get it that they're dangerous sports anyway. You don't need to make them any deadlier by creating a track that will send people hurtling to their deaths at 90+ miles per hour. If my sister had made the team, I'd be a wreck right about now.
