i was at the men's Luge event Saturday & Sunday. great show as well. standing at the finish line yesterday was a blast. my cousin is on the Canadian Luge team so it was great to cheer him on in person. unfortunately the speeds were down a bit since the men started from the women's "start area". this was due to the death in training on friday of the Georgian athlete. nevertheless, it's still an extreme sport that leaves casual observers awe-struck by the speed of a human flying down a sheet of ice on a little sled.
tons of free stuff in Vancity & Whistler as well for those who can't afford an event, the line-ups are free as well. although there are plenty of events that are economical - Luge at $30, skier-cross at $50. of course i'd love to see some hockey, but i have a hard time justifying $1500 for a decent game. HD TV on a big screen with a bunch of friends is almost as good...
