His first nine, last November, were uneventful. They were all from the novice, junior or women's start location. In 16 of his next 17 runs, he took on the full men's run, and Friday's crash was his fourth -- three of them on the same Corner 16 that was the beginning of the end." Lugers from overseas were training on the track a year ago. Interestingly, the fact that all runs are now being done from the women's start, which reduces the speed by about 10km/h, is prompting complaints from some who are saying the slower track gives an advantage ...
