"The safety of the athletes at the Olympic Games is paramount," added the IOC. "The IOC in cooperation with the International Sports Federations has initiated a full technical review of the safety and health aspects of all sports on the program of the Olympic Games (Summer and Winter) and together we will assess whether any specific measures need to be considered in the future. "

Georgian luger Nodar Kumaritashvili had a serious crash and died in the training for the men's singles before the official start of the Vancouver Olympics in Whistler on Feb. 12.

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.
