It seems like every other day something terrible is happening in Sochi. First it was the poor living conditions experienced by tourists, prompting the infamous hastag #SochiProblems, then it was that Technician who was stabbed to death in his hotel room. Now an olympic worker was nearly killed in a bobsled accident.
The worker was reportedly still working on the finish line of the track when a forerunning sled was sent down to make sure the track conditions were suitable for the two man training. Apparently they didn’t give a shit about the finish line being ready, or the workers that were trying to make sure it was safe for the athletes.
The unidentified worker was hit by the bobsled, whose speeds can exceed 120km/h, and went flying 40 meters, smashing into the ceiling before falling lifelessly back onto the ground. He was airlifted to a nearby hospital, reportedly suffering two broken legs and a concussion.
