I don't know, but I'll give it 48 hours before the local media starts blaming the guy who died. CTV apparently ran the video of the crash over and over while filling the air with their inane comments. Way to go guys! Any idiot could have deduced that hitting a metal pole at 140km/h is fatal. I think they're so stupid they don't even realize how horrible they are.

Canada shouldn't have extra time! We live here! The track has been open for more than a year!

Are you a psychopath or what?

Also, a lot of people seemed to think this course was a death trap. The sporting officials signed off on it, but it's our responsibility too. There's no need to make a course that's so unforgiving. Simple slip ups should not send people flying to their deaths. Why wasn't there plexiglass or something covering those beams?! Serious injuries were plausible in any case at those speeds - the sport is dangerous - but it's hard to look at that setup and not think that much more could have been done. Why weren't the concerns raised by the experienced people addressed?

I agree. How is this welcoming the world? Come to our Olympics but we'll restrict your practice sessions to 10% of ours, so we can maybe beat you and boast? When did this country get so pathetically insecure?
