英语文摘：IOC releases report on Kumaritashvili's death

The 21-year-old slider lost control of his sled, went over a wall, and slammed into a metal support beam. Observers said his sled was traveling nearly 136 km/h.

The Georgian luger was knocked unconscious and treated onsite by medical staff. Then, he was immediately air-lifted to a Whistler hospital where he died.

The 2010 Games would have been Kumaritashvili's first Olympics. Kumaritashvili's crash occurred at the fastest part of the track, which steeply declines for 152 meters, making it the world's longest luge drop.

Nodar Kumaritashvili was buried in his hometown of Bakuriani, Georgia.
