LUGE!
Today was the day we took the gondola up the mountain for the women's luge final runs. We had chosen this event hoping that there would be some Canadians in the mix, but the Germans were completely dominating in Runs 1 & 2 and the Canadians had too much time to make up to be a factor on the final day.
We had grandstand seats but for the final run we made our way track side. This is where you really got a sense of the speed of this sport. Lugers whizzed by before you could even snap your camera and it became a little bit of a competition to 'get the shot', even among the professional photographers we had sat in front of in the grand stand.
The kids were more fascinated by the snow banks and spent the majority of their time playing rather than watching.
