So I finally joined up on Twitter. I like how you get pretty close to real time coverage of things instead of having to wait for articles to be written and posted.

Supposedly they ran out of coffee in the media center...

And in luge practice, someone went off the track going 140kph and hit a pole. They were doing CPR. Doesn't look good.

A competitor in the luge was given emergency resuscitation treatment on Friday after a horrifying crash in training for the Vancouver Winter Olympics. Nodar Kumaritashvili, of Georgia, left the track on his sled at the Whistler Sliding Centre at around 90mph, according to observers, and smashed into a course side structure. He was unconscious, a Reuters reporter said.
Medics rushed to the scene to give him treatment. The incident happened hours before the Winter Games officially open in Vancouver.
Training was immediately suspended.
