Wide of news conference\u003cbr/\u003eA private service was held on Monday in Vancouver for the Georgian Olympic athlete killed in a luge crash last week, before his body was returned to his homeland.\u003cbr/\u003eMembers of Georgia''s Olympic team were joined by Olympic officials at an emotional memorial service for the 21-year-old Nodar Kumaritashvili who died last Friday during practice.\u003cbr/\u003eKumaritashvili, died during Friday practice when he lost control of his sled and slammed into a trackside steel pole at nearly 145 kilometres (90 miles per hour).\u003cbr/\u003eGeorgian team members could be seen hugging and crying outside the private ceremony, which was also attended by officials from the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and the Vancouver Organising Committee (VANOC).\u003cbr/\u003e\"Lying there in the casket, just a fine, fine young man, it was just a tragedy\", an emotional Patrick Hickey, president of the European Olympic Committees, said after the funeral service.\u003cbr/\u003eAbout two dozen people attended Monday''s service, including Kumaritashvili''s uncle and coach, Felix, who broke into tears outside the funeral home.\u003cbr/\u003eThree Georgian athletes, including figure skater Otar Japaridze, wearing a black armband on his red team jacket, were there. \u003cbr/\u003eSo were several Georgians who live in Vancouver and came to pay their respects carrying flowers and candles.\u003cbr/\u003eTen people - including Vancouver organising committee head John Furlong - carried the casket out of the building and placed it in the back of the hearse. \u003cbr/\u003eFurlong and Hickey shook hands with each of the 14 yellow-jacketed Vancouver motorcycle policemen, who then escorted the hearse away.\u003cbr/\u003eFurlong said organisers helped expedite Canadian formalities so the luger''s body could be returned home as soon as possible.\u003cbr/\u003e\"It was extremely moving and heartbreaking to be there,\" Furlong said. \u003cbr/\u003e\"We did the best we could to bring the appropriate environment to bring closure to what happened here.\"\u003cbr/\u003eAfterward, the brown casket was placed in a gray hearse and driven away with a police escort of 14 motorcycles.\u003cbr/\u003eLater on Monday, the body was to be taken on a flight to Germany and then flown to Georgia on Wednesday for burial in his hometown of Bakuriani. No date has been set for the funeral.\u003cbr/\u003eHickey said that Kumaritashvili  would be received by the Georgian patriarch when his body is returned to Tbilisi.\u003cbr/\u003eConcerns about the course had been raised earlier. \u003cbr/\u003eThere were worries that the 100 (m) million US dollar-plus venue was too technically demanding, and that only the host nation''s sliders would have enough practice time to adapt.\u003cbr/\u003eIn a joint statement, the luge federation and Vancouver Olympic officials blamed the accident on the athlete, saying Kumaritashvili was late coming out of the next-to-last turn and failed to compensate.\u003cbr/\u003eThe Georgian President Mikhail Saakashvili and Kumaritashvili''s family have strongly rejected the claim.  \u003cbr/\u003eSaakashvili criticised organisers, saying that an athlete''s mistake shouldn''t result in his death.\u003cbr/\u003eSaakashvili called Kumaritashvili''s father and promised that his son''s body will be flown home
