Sam speaks out on the silent start for luge. He wishes it was louder!

Italy’s Armin Zöggeler, the man with the straightest posture, clinched his eighth career World Cup overall title in luge and Canadian coach Wolfgang Staudinger said he got caught with his pants down Saturday at Canada Olympic Park. Zöggeler, the reigning Olympic champion, posted a two-run time of one minute 30.375 at the Viessman World Cup in Calgary.

Yikes. How was this rigged? (U.S.A.?) This doesn’t just suck. It bites.

The four Canadian luge athletes who teamed up to win Canada a silver medal in the team competition earlier this week, all slid into the top-15 at the Luge World Cup in Altenberg, Germany over the weekend. Calgary’s 24-year-old Sam Edney enjoyed one of his strongest performances of the year in men’s singles on Sunday. Edney finished as the top Canuck after sliding into 13th spot with a time of one minute 51.561 seconds.

Canada’s team consisting of Calgary’s Alex Gough, Sam Edney and brother tandem of Chris and Mike Moffat, finished second behind the nearly untouchable Germans after blowing down the challenging 15-cure Altenberg track.
