Luge
competitor
A former Luclumw man, Donald
An-
drew, son of Alex and Catherine An-
drew, be nakhig a name for Nowell as
a lager. Presently residing in ' Olds,
Alberta, Mr. Andrew took Part in the
Drummond International Natural Luge
Race in Red Deer on January 13 and
14. He placed second with a time of
3:22.24 in the Master Men's category,
just behind Austria's Hennes Robitsch.
He also placed first in the North
American Competition..
Natural luge iss compared to "sliding
down an icy mountain roam with curves
and twists." The corners aren't banked
like the Olympic Track Luge competi-
tions. It is not an Olympic sport at this
time but it is hoped that it will be a
demonstration sport in the 1992 Winter
Games.
