The death this morning of Georgian athlete Nodar Kumaritashvili on the luge track is a sad start for the Olympic Games beginning today in Vancouver.  It is always tragic when men are cut down in the prime of youth.  Nothing can diminish the sense of loss for his family and his country.  But I cannot help but respect the dignity and glory that belongs to those who die doing something they love.
