Olympic veterans Chris Mazdzer and Jayson Terdiman crashed out of a World Cup qualifying race on Friday, ending their hopes of being the doubles sled that represents USA Luge at next month’s Beijing Games. The Di Gregorio-Hollander sled has the edge going into Saturday’s World Cup doubles race, after finishing ahead of the Kellogg-Segger sled in the qualifying race Friday in Sigulda, Latvia. It would be the first Olympics for Farquharson, Gustafson and whichever U.S. doubles sled advances. He was bidding to make a third consecutive Olympic team with a third different doubles partner, something that hasn’t been done in USA Luge history. Di Gregorio and Hollander were eighth in the qualifying race, one spot ahead of Kellogg and Segger — the difference being just 0.069 seconds.
