Luge will return to the Winter Olympics. Here is everything you need to know about the high-speed event at the 2022 Beijing Games.
If a slider crosses the finish line without his sled, the run is thrown out, which means automatic disqualification since all of the run times count toward the final score. However, the slider can cross the finish line carrying their sled, and the run will still count.The equipment involved is relatively simple. It includes gloves, boots, a helmet and the sled.
Two weeks before the start of the 1964 Innsbruck Games, Polish-born British luger Kazimierz Kay-Skrzypeski died on the luge track during a practice run. Spending your sporting days laying on your back while rocketing down an icy slope on a sled is probably not the best way to prepare for most things in life, but Olympic medalist Chris Mazdzer can confirm for certain that it is no way to learn how to dance.Luge and skeleton are similar but have differences. One of the biggest differences between luge and skeleton is that with luge, competitors sled down the track on their backs whereas skeleton competitors sled head-first on their stomachs.
