Coroner releases report into luger’s death at 2010 Olympics

Georgian luger Nodar Kumaritashvili died during the 2010 Winter Olympic Games because a collection of systems meant to control risk "failed to anticipate this incident or mitigate the outcome," a report by The B.C. Coroner’s Service has found.

"The collision was a result of an interaction of factors including high speed, technical challenges and exacting physical forces with the associated physiological stresses, which converged at a critical moment, overwhelming the athlete and causing irrevocable loss of control of the sled," said the report released Monday.

In a statement, the service added it will not conduct an inquest because it is "unlikely an inquest would uncover additional, relevant information."

The coroner did make three safety recommendations for the WHistler luge tracks and other tracks around the world.
