Moving down the track was supposed to slow them some from the 90mph and make it saver.
One earlier tonight hit 91mph on the shorter track, however.

The Canadian luge coach estimated that change in the starting line would only reduce speeds by 10 km/h. Even it it were effective in reducing speed, that is a trivial amount and barely reduces danger. I think they should have left it the way it was, some luge racers feel that they are being robbed of a chance to break a World Record.
