I click on the TV to catch a glimspe of today’s Olympic events. The first thing I see is “skeleton” runs. Now I really don’t remember ever seeing this event before. I thought luge was just about as bare minimum as it got when it came to “man” challenging the icy speed courses, until today that is. Basically skeleton is luge, but the atheletes are sledding down the course as fast as possible – face first! Big kids having fun in the winter snow.
