  • CTV Re Coverage of the Fatal Luge Accident at the 2010 Winter Olympic Games
    CANADIAN BROADCAST STANDARDS COUNCIL NATIONAL CONVENTIONAL TELEVISION PANEL CTV re coverage of the fatal luge accident at the 2010 Winter Olympic Games (CBSC Decision 09/10-0895+) Decided November 12, 2010 R. Cohen (Chair), H. Pawley (Vice-Chair, Public), D. Braun (ad hoc), M. Harris (ad hoc), F. Niemi, T. Reeb THE FACTS On February 12, 2010, just prior to the commencement of the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, a Georgian luge athlete named Nodar Kumaritashvili experienced a tragic accident during a practice run at the Whistler Sliding Centre. He flew off his luge coming out of a steep turn (corner 16, called “Thunderbird”), was projected off the track, and struck one of the support posts. The accident was caught on film by CTV (a member of the Olympic Broadcast Media Consortium and the principal English- language broadcaster of the Games), and was broadcast at various times that day, both as news of the accident was breaking and again later once it had been confirmed that Kumaritashvili had died from his injuries. The video was approximately 40 seconds in duration. It showed Kumaritashvili going down the luge track at a very fast speed (said to be 143 km/h). Multiple cameras were placed along the track so that the television audience could see his and all other runs from different points along the track and at different angles. When the luger flew off the sled, viewers heard a clang, which was presumably the sound of the luger’s helmet hitting the post. Kumaritashvili’s limp body was partially obscured by other posts in front of the camera, but the CTV audience saw a number of people, mainly on-site medics, running towards the man.

Approval Name: Kelsey Blair Degree: Doctor of Philosophy Title: Performance Studies, Sport, and Affect in the Twenty-First Century Examining Committee: Chair: Clint Burnham Professor Peter Dickinson Senior Supervisor Professor Dara Culhane Supervisor Professor Coleman Nye Supervisor Assistant Professor Ann Travers Internal Examiner Associate Professor Department of Sociology and Anthropology Susan Bennett External Examiner Professor Department of English University of Calgary Date Defended/Approved: April 16, 2019 ii Abstract Richard Schechner, one of the founders of performance studies, urges scholars to expand their conceptualization of performance to include a broad spectrum of framed and/or displayed human behaviours. While this call to action has strongly influenced the interdisciplinary impulse of performance studies and prompted important cross- disciplinary investigations between performance genres such as theatre, dance, performance art, political performance, ritual, and play, sport has remained under- theorized in the field. In this project, I begin to fill this gap by approaching the practices, activities, and events of twenty-first century sport through the lens of performance studies.

Vancouver 2010 celebrated the Olympic values and contributed to the advancement of the entire Olympic Movement in a number of positive ways. More than a year after these Games were staged, the 2010 Vancouver Olympic Winter Games slogan “With Glowing Hearts” continues to resonate in our memories. The festive, friendly spirit on the streets as well as in and around the venues was among the best I have experienced at any edition of the Games. The athletes’ performances were stunning and largely facilitated by the fantastic venues and great know-how that we witnessed across all venues. Organising the Olympic Games is a complex, long-term task that requires creativity, financial discipline and close cooperation with a wide variety of stakeholders.

Fischer According to research on sports media, reporters have both gender and racial biases. Women are marginalized in the media (Billings, Halone, & Denham, 2002), and athletes are stereotyped based on race (Banet-Weiser, 1999). These depictions affect the public’s image of athletics and particular athletes. White males are offered both more media attention and more salient coverage (Banet-Weiser, 1999; Billings, Halone, & Denham, 2002). Women are characterized for non-task behaviors (Billings, Halone, & Denham, 2002), and minority groups’ behaviors are generalized (Banet-Weiser, 1999).

  • Luge Track Safety
    Luge Track Safety Mont Hubbard Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, University of California, Davis, Ca., 95616 USA (Dated: December 21, 2012) Simple geometric models of ice surface shape and equations of motion of objects on these surfaces can be used to explain ejection of sliders from ice tracks. Simulations using these can be used to explain why certain design features can be viewed as proximate causes of ejection from the track and hence design flaws. This paper studies the interaction of a particle model for the luge sled (or its right runner) with the ice fillet commonly connecting inside vertical walls and the flat track bottom. A numerical example analyzes the 2010 luge accident at the Vancouver Olympics. It shows that this runner-fillet interaction, and specifically the fillet’s positive curvature up the inside wall, can cause a vertical velocity more than sufficient to clear the outside exit wall. In addition its negative curvature along the track, together with large vertical velocity, explains loss of fillet or wall contact and slider ejection. This exposes the fillet along inside walls as a track design flaw. A more transparent design and review process could provide a wider, more complete and thorough design and verification scrutiny by competent scientists and engineers without financial involvement or conflicts of interest and potentially lead to safer future designs. I. INTRODUCTION One day before the opening of the 2010 Winter Olympic Games in Vancouver, a tragic crash in the 6th and last training run claimed the life of Georgian luge slider Nodar Kumaritashvili [1]. The accident cast a pall over the impending Olympics and called into question whether one of the centerpieces of the Games, the ice sliding track, was safe enough to proceed.
