IOC president urges Russians to build safe luge track

International Olympic Committee (IOC) president, Jacques Rogge says the Olympic governing body accepts \"moral responsibility\" but not legal responsibility for the death of a luger on a lightning-fast track.



Rogge says the international luge federation had approved the track\'s design. He further says making the track faster was never part of the \"philosophy of the IOC.\"



Georgian luger Nodar Kumaritashvili was killed in a training run hours before the Vancouver Games opened. Travelling at nearly 90 miles per hour, he lost control of his sled and flew off the track into a steel pole.



The death has raised questions about the design and speed of the track, and whether the Olympics are pushing athletes too far.



The international luge federation says the death was the result of human error, but made changes to the track for what it called emotional and not safety reasons.
