Germany completes it fifth sweep of the women's luge medals. After the snarky anti-American Olympic snowboarding thread the other day, I am surprised that this wasn't immediately posted with snarky anti-German commentary! Becky Wilczak finished fifth, matching the highest finish ever for an American. I guess we don't dominate every sport. Dern.

Goddamm nazis, I tell ya what, they've got some kinda genetic engineering labs churning out these supermen (I heard them "women" ain't really women at all). I seen it in that "Castle Wolfenstein" documentary.

(In retrospect, that wasn't very snarky or anti-german enough, but hey, it's late)

Was the luge invented in Germany then?

Frankly, anybody willing to plunge down an ice track while sitting on a tray deserves a medal in my book.
