Double Luge
What's with this double luge? I mean, can't you just hear the guy on the bottom saying, "Dude, you're squishing my junk!" It seems like they should do mixed doubles with the woman on the bottom. At least it would give for a smoother ride for the top guy. Anyway, a team of brothers from Austria won the gold today. I personally don't know any brothers that could do this sport without wanting to beat the crap out of each other at some point. One American team finished 8th and the other didn't finish their second run. Grimmette and Martin, twice luge Olympic medal winners, crashed but were able to walk away unscathed.
