What kind of an idiot would think that bobsled is a "pussy" sport. Dumb hillbilly. It takes a little more skill than riding on a car hood being pulled behind a pickup truck, you jackass. I hope the poor woman was allright.

in soviet russia, bobsled drives you.

@dopepedler dumb liberal, being pulled behind a truck on a carhood would be way harder... think about it a bobsled track is designed to keep you ON the track and these pussy sport playing foriegners cant even do that, ...a carhood ride consists of a drunk guy behind the wheel trying to throw you off........PERRY2012

@meany1023 Your experience as a volunteer or witness doesn't give me much of a reason to trust your opinion, with all due respect. I did, however, just read the conclusion to the inquiry on the Georgian crash and indeed, the track difficulty was a factor in his death. Although he made two subsequent errors he should not have made before the final turn, so that's a factor as well.

@ericleb01 im sorrry but your wrong there i worked at the olympics as a volunteer and i watched the whole thing unfold everyone on their training run going from near the top there was crashing on that corner thats how dangerous that corner is thats why during the olympics they never let any of the competitors not even bobsleigh start up top trust me i was there i know what happened

[ericleb01]

@meany1023 It didn't kill anyone because of the difficulty; it killed because the Georgian wasn't experienced enough for the higher difficulty track.

[meany1023]

@ericleb01 it was named the hardest track also cuz it did kill someone on a training run b4 the olympics

in soviet Russia Skulkina crushes you!

That's the common way to ruin a run at Altenberg. Too high out of 13, hit the cushion on the left and curve 14 will welcome you with an icy slap.
