it is very difficult for an organizing committee to try and oversee all of this and to ensure that the international bodies are doing their job. i took a special issue with the international body pointing out the experience of nodar himself, which his family took issue with, pointing out that perhaps he wasn t ranked at the top doesn t mean he s going to hurl down this luge track to his death and i think there are lots of lessons learned and continually saying it was unforeseeable, the cbc, has uncovered things, saying things could have been done perhaps if there was more vigilance on this track. this death could have been avoided. do you think that they will be protected, these athletes will be protected in the future, now that all of this is coming forward? reporter: again, you have no doubt that in the olympic organizing committees they have safety teams that try to ensure that due diligence. i think this is a real warning for people in socchi, and in
