About the Olympic Luge Competition -
The Olympic Luge competition consists of three events: men's singles, women's singles, and doubles.
In men's and women's singles, athletes take four runs down the track. The four times are added, and the fastest total time determines the winner. The competition takes two days to complete (two runs per day). The four-run format is unique to the Olympic Winter Games and is designed to reward consistency, endurance, and ability to withstand pressure - particularly on the second day. (At most events, such as the world championships and World Cup races, singles are contested over two runs.)
Doubles luge is a one-day competition in which pairs of athletes take two runs down the course. The fastest total time determines the winner. The two-run format is also used in World Championships and World Cup races. There is no rule that says a doubles team must comprise members of the same sex, but traditionally, men have competed together.

From a loyal eSeats.com Customer!
I am not really sure what to say. In my attempts to find tickets for the 2008 Beijing Olympics, I came across problem after problem until I found at eseats.com. Not only was their inventory up to date and with a good price, but there brokers were always available to help me through the process. Sometimes it can be nice to talk to a real person which eseats.com definitely provides. Thanks a lot.

6 months prior to the 2008 Summer games in Beijing I made my first Olympic ticket purchase, which ended up being from a fraud company. Soon afterwards I made a second purchase and that company notified me that they could not service the order just 2 weeks before my departure. With just a week before leaving for Beijing I found
eseats.com who immediately confirmed an order for half my requested tickets. The owner of
eseats.com personally made a call to his vendors to find tickets that were not listed on his site to attempt to fulfill my past order through the other companies. Thank you to
eseats.com for the prompt confirmation, friendly service and for going the extra mile to take care of its customers.

Here is my real story which took place with my China Olympics tickets. I ordered and paid for $60K worth of tickets via a competitors website and received nothing. Since I paid with my Amex I have since dispute the charges and filed a complaint with the government. I also sent an e-mail to the LA Times reporter:
greg.johnson@latimes.com.
As to eSeats.com? I spoke directly to Bob Berstein (the owner) and he is the one who got me replacement tickets. FYI... the company is legit... in business for 18 years and has a great reputation. If you ever have questions about his service, feel free to speak with me.
If you shall need tix, Bob at eSeats.com is the man.
Good luck to all

History of the Olympics
The first official Olympic Winter Games was appropriately held in Athens Greece
in 1896, as was the last event in 2004. The inaugural games featured 241 participants
from 14 nations, while the most recent contest involved 11,100 competitors
from 202 countries. The original games can be traced back to Olympia, Greece
in 8th century B.C. The most popular legend is that Heracles, son of Zeus
and Alcmene, created the Olympic games and built the Olympic stadium and surrounding
buildings as a tribute to his father. Since a medal count has been recorded,
the United States garnered the most gold medals with 35, followed by China
with 32 and Russia with 27. Beijing was elected host city of the 2010 Winter
games on July 13, 2001. The city that will carry the torch to host the 2014
games has yet to be determined.
