Changes were definitely need at the Luge track after the traffic accident on Friday that claimed the life of Nodar Kumaritashvili. There a lot of allegation floating around and apparently the Candians are fuming over their “loss” of home ice advantage. Since when did hosting the Olympics give the hosting country to tailor the venues to provide an advantage for their own athletes. It goes against everything the Olympic spirit stands for. It’s such a shame that it has come to this. Don’t you think?

What a horrible way to start the games. Word has it that many people complained about the luge track being too fast. Three crashes on Friday, one ending in the tragic loss of a young promising athlete. There will be more on this story but I wanted to share this cartoon from Saturdays Chicago Tribune.

This week has been a bit crazy, with all of the changes here, but I thought it was appropriate to finish with this cartoon about Lindsey Vonn. Her story will unfold throughout the weekend and it will be interesting to see the outcome. My predicition is that she will gut it out and compete as best she can. I still think she’ll medal. Have a great weekend and thank you all for hanging in there this week with the site. I’ll be putting a poll up next week to get a feel for how you like the site and what else I can do to make it worth your daily readership.

Site Changes
As you can see I changed the site over the weekend. I’ve added some fun features, the biggest one being Mingle. I hope you’ll join the community. To sign up just go to the header and hit the signup button. Just think of it as Facebook for sports fans! Let me know what you think of the new look. I want a great reader experience here on the site. A place where you can go during the day to have a little fun. I’ll be adding some more things in the coming days.

Thanks,
Drew
