The unofficial AFC Rushden & Diamonds messageboard

The winter olympics on?

I think there is a lot on BBC, and some on Eurosport, but i have no idea how they are splitting it between the two!

A sad start to the games, as one of the competitors died in practice!

It's a difficult run, one of our skeleton team was severely injured on it last year and is only just back from rehabilitation for the games.

Luge and Bobsled are the ones I look out for. High speed and a chance of crashes

I wouldn't really call this appropriate considering a 21 year old man lost his life in a training session just before the games were to open.

I saw the accident. Wasn't pretty.

Apparently they showed the incident, before it was known how serious it was. What happened, as i heard the luge was still on the track but he went flying?

Yeah i've seen it too, basically what happen he came around a corner, as fast as you would expect, and seemed like he didn't adjust properly and flew off into an unprotected metal pillar.

Not pretty at all
