The International Olympic Committee holds a moment of reflection on the fourth anniversary of the death of Georgian luge racer Nodar Kumaritashvili.

The International Olympic Committee have held a moment of reflection at the Winter Olympics in Sochi to mark the fourth anniversary of the death of luge racer Nodar Kumaritashvili.

The Georgian was killed during a crash on a training run at Whistler at the 2010 Games in Vancouver.

IOC communications director Mark Adams said: "There are a number of things going on. The International Luge Federation are in touch with his family and we have been working with them on a lasting memorial in Georgia.

"Today, specifically, I know that, along with the Luge Federation, we are laying some flowers in tribute at the track in Whistler and I also know that the president took part in a moment of reflection with the FIL at a meeting this morning.

"It is one thing clearly that will remain with all of us of who were there and obviously with his family. That is an ongoing thing, it doesn't finish today, or indeed, in four years' time because we will continue to work with the family on a really good lasting tribute to his memory."

The 21-year-old's death was the first in luge since 1975.
