Nodar Kumaritashvili never had a chance.
He crashed almost head-first into a steel support pole after losing control of his luge at the Olympic Sliding Centre Friday morning.
The scene of the crash was no more than five or six metres from the $105 million centre’s first-aid station and medical personnel responded immediately, but the racer had no chance to survive the impact.
