Family of 21-year old Georgian luger Nodar Kumaritashvili, who died in training right before the Olympics in Vancover, will sue the International Olympic Committee in a bid to receive compensation.
Georgia's Sports Minister Nikoloz Rurua promised assistance of the state in case the late luger's family sues the IOC.
He highlighted that a criminal case was brought over the case of his death and investigation in Canada will be finished in March or April.
Kumaritashvili died as a result of the accident in Whistler track, several hours before the opening of the Olympic Games on Feb. 12.
While training he failed to take the final 270-degree turn at the speed of 145 km/h and was thrown out of the bobrun, hit the metal column, and died of injuries in a hospital near Whistler.
