**A leading Olympic official has hit out at sections of the British media for their coverage of the Vancouver Games.**Organisers have been criticised for the way they have run the Games and also came under fire in the wake of the death of luger Nodar Kumaritashvili.
Games chief John Furlong told BBC Sport: "To read caustic and finger-pointing comments, you have to wonder what event they are really watching.
“They don’t appear to be attending the same Olympic Games as everyone else.”
The death of Georgian Kumaritashvili, who crashed into a steel pole at the Whistler Sliding Centre just hours before the opening ceremony, sent shockwaves around Canada and the world.
