Tucker West's father wants girls to contact luger

Team USA's luge team member Tucker West could be returning home from Russia to a deluge of date proposals.

That's because the 18-year-old's father, Brett, went live on US television urging girls to contact him once he comes back from the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi.

"I just want to say to all the young ladies out there: Tucker is very single!" he said on The Today Show.

"Now, he's a little shy, so you have to reach out to him. And you can do that through, on Facebook, his page 'Team Tucker.'

"And the neat part is, he's such a good kid, everyone who posts there he always gives back a personal response."

West finished the race in 22nd place.
