Skeleton

Skeleton is an intersting sport that not a lot of people know about. It is like luge but instead of laying on your back, you are actually laying on your stomach. The birthplace of skeleton is the Swis Aps. They had to leave the olympics in 1998 and came back in 2002. You have 30 seconds from the start to push your sled as far as you can and at the end of the 30 seconds you must jump on the sled and then begin the race throughout the track. Each country sends 3 men and 3 woman to do this paticular sport. The United States is the most competitive country.
