In the end, the luge is scored entirely by summing finish times. However, during the run, some split times and speeds are available. The speeds, like everything else are SI, kilometers per hour, and NBC flashes those graphics on screen. Apparently the announcers get instant coversion and yack endlessly in miles per hour while you are looking at on screen graphices in km/h. The disconnect is both annoying and confusing.
NBC: Please let have the REAL results. Don't bother converting. (You will be less confused if you mute the announcers and just read on-screen graphics.) Fortunately, there are fewer Winter events they can screw up with unnecessary conversion. compared to the Summer Olympics.
