Sad news out of the Olympics today which hasn’t even seen the Opening Ceremony yet. Luger Nodar Kumaritashvili, 21, of Georgia died in a crash during a practice run.

I won’t post photos that are floating out there but if you’re so inclined, Huffingtopost has put a handful up.

They aren’t for the faint of heart so be forewarned.

The Georgian Olympic delegation is considering pulling their entire team out as a result.

Here is video. Obviously it isn’t as gruesome as the still photos but nonetheless, it is a video of a man dying.

RIP
