Olympic Events - Skeleton
Skeleton came to the olympic's in 1976. It was first tried by British Soilders on a tobogan. Now when practicing skeleton they use the same track as bob sled and luge, they wear an airplane helemet and skin tieght speed suits.Skeleton is one of the newest events to the olympics. When they start they run at hiegh speeds then smoothly liegh there bodys on the sled going throw the track at hiegh speeds twisting and curving, once they get to the end they use there feet to stop. As doing this they are trying to get the lowest time. Not many people do skeleton but when they do they better like the adrenaline rush. By Talen
