The U.S. Olympic team will be finalized after the fall 2009-10 World Cup season is complete. The roster will be announced Dec. 18.
Mainstays on the U.S. luge team, doubles partners Mark Grimmette and Brian Martin are two-time Olympic medalists.
Timed to the thousandth of a second, luge and short track are the Olympics' most precisely-timed events.
Since 1986, Schaedler has been the head coach of the United States Luge Team.
Luge didn't become an Olympic sport until the 1964 Games because it was deemed too dangerous.
