Men’s Luge Live Blog (SPOILERS)

One of my new favorite athletes is Chris Mazdzer. Leslie Jones also just discovered him and the sport of Luge as well.

The US has never won an individual men’s Luge medal. We’ve got a couple double luge medals (because we’re progressive).

Chris is currently sitting SECOND. YAY YAYYYY. He was fourth after the first 2 runs yesterday and absolutely crushed his third run this morning with the best individual run time of the games so far. He has gotten better each run and is in striking distance of gold. One more run to go!

4th and Final Run

Its only the top 20 guys now and they do reverse order.

-American Taylor Morris just did his final run. Solid games for him and he seemed happy with his overall performance. He narrowly missed out on making the Sochi team so I think he was just pumped to be in Korea.

-Now we get to watch the guys that are temporarily the leaders stand and wave at the camera until they are kicked out and have to do an overexaggerated frown and quick wave.

-Might as well post this now as the middle of the pack is going:

-And back to luge. So it is really F*in cold there and the ice is real hard and fast (insert joke related to the video above). These guys are putting some fast times down as they are getting some real good speed.

-DOWN TO 3!! Austrian Gerscher is going now. Good run so far but he just put a foot down. This is good for Chris. He takes the top spot but didn’t have a perfect run. He’s definitely getting a medal.

-USA chant has started. Love it. He looks ready and focused. HE’S GETTING A MEDAL!!!! And he’s sprinting into the stands to get a flag.

-Felix Loch’s last run will determine the medals. He Just fucked up. Oh shittttt. He’s not on the podium and Chris just got silver!!!!!!
