Rosa Khutor: Tongan luger Bruno Banani -- who changed his name to that of a German underwear manufacture for a publicity stunt -- said it is an "amazing feeling" to be his country's first ever Winter Olympian. The 26-year-old took to the track at Rosa Khutor on Thursday for a practice run and enjoyed the experience despite making some mistakes.

"It's amazing, just a great feeling," he said. "I just can't explain how happy I am to get to the Olympics. "It's just unbelievable to be a kind of sports ambassador of my country at the Games. Whenever I go back I'll tell people in my country how great it is and maybe some of them will join me in this sport.
