A U.S. luge team spokesman admitted Tuesday he used a poor choice of words when he mentioned the atomic bomb in discussing the flap over Georg Hackl's racing booties. We're talking about a German luge racer and the technological advances he had over other lugers, period. After Hackl took the lead in the first run of the men's singles on Sunday, the United States and Canada protested the new booties he and other German racers wore. The protest was thrown out, and Hackl won his third straight gold medal on Monday.
Japan is the only country to have the atomic bomb used against it.
