...site's founder. Ternovskiy says he coded the site himself, with hosting for the project funded by family and friends. (The site now funds itself through a small line of advertisements at the bottom of the screen.) What's next for the 17-year-old whiz kid?

Ternovskiy told the Times he's never traveled to the U.S., but the success of his creation has attracted attention from venture capitalists.

And while the event retained its festive feel - a giddy Loch hoofed it up and waved the flag like, well, a 20-year-old kid who was his luge-obsessed country's first men's gold medal in a dozen years - the awful memories of last week's accident still loomed.
