Luge

In a frantic race against the clock down a winding ice track, Luge racers sled lying down feetfirst. Competitors start the race by paddling along the track. As they pick up speed, they lie back and hold onto handles inside the sled. By pressing their calves inward against the front-runners and using their shoulders to press down the rear of the sled, racers can steer the sled down the track’s twists, turns and 30-story vertical drop.
