it was real nice all the speeches and the moments of silence and everything they did for him last night. but what absolutely DISGUSTED me was that they showed him flying into that pole not once, not twice but THREE times! once i understand, i expected to see it one time. but three times? come on. thats not only disgusting to watch, but i find it a little disrespectful.
Anyway, that course is WAY too dangerous. it has not protection from flying out of it if you wipe out, it sends you flying at speeds nobody has ever gone before, and something needs to be done to make it safer. having a tiny all ready troubled country like Georgia loose one of its few prides to a dangerous course just days before his Olympic dream is realized is not acceptable, and i hope they realize that.
Rest In Peace
