Lake Placid (RWH) Shiva Keshavan of India aims to take part in his sixth Olympics with the help of the USA’s most successful luger ever. Duncan Kennedy, who competed in three Olympics himself, was the first US luger to win a World Cup, and later worked on the US luge association's coaching team. He will be supporting the two-times Asian champion in his preparations for the 2018 Winter Olympics in PyeongChang (KOR). Keshavan, who will be debuting in the Viessmann World Cup at Lake Placid in the US state of New York next weekend (5¬-6 December 2014), will have the help of a personal coach for the first time in his career. The 33-year-old from the Himalayas was 37th at the Sochi Winter Olympics, and his best ever Olympic result was a 25th place at the 2002 Winter Game in Salt Lake City, Utah. The only luger ever to have made seven Olympic appearances is Russia’s Albert Demchenko, now 43, who collected a total of three silver medals at the Games.
