Shop Skeleton Luge: we try-out for the British Olympic Team (by Mark Warrender) Mark Warrender (a.k.a. Mr. Cool) and Dr. Neil Farrow put away their streetluges for a weekend and set sail for Bath University to have a go at their new Bob Skeleton practice track. That's the ice version of the luge where the racers go HEAD FIRST! Here's Mark Warrenders report... Bath University: Dry start track for practicing Bob Skeleton throughout the year. It sounded crazy enough and at only £2.50 I thought it was a snip. We took a day off for the Queen and headed down, meeting outside a café for 10 a.m. We were led off by a guy called Paul to the lecture theatre. After filling out various forms we had the speech from Paul. That's where I started to feel like I'd been shafted. He told us about Skeleton and it's origins, the fact it's an Olympic sport and that they were doing talent trials that day for the British Olympic team!

Olympic Games Luge An educated guess historically dates the luge or sled back to ancient Scandinavia where hollowed-out tree trucks may have been used as prehistoric transport. The first historical evidence for the luge (French, for sled) dates to the Dark Ages in Norway, where sleds were used for fun, or as an easy way to transport people and materials. As a sport, luge events were first held in St. Petersburg, Russia in the 16th century, and its popularity soon spread throughout Europe. However, it wasn't until 1833 that the first official games involving 21 competitors were held in Davos, Switzerland. A century later, the first world championship attracted over 50 athletes from around Europe, bringing the sport official recognition in 1957 with the founding of the International Luge Federation . Inclusion as an official Olympic sport only came in 1964 at the Innsbruck Games. Today, the Olympic event is held over two rounds - with fastest times determined in thousandths of seconds - in the men's and women's single and men's double competitions.

Established in 1981, the IOC Athletes' Commission serves as a link between the athletes and the IOC. Composed of 19 active and retired athletes, the commission holds annual meetings and issues recommendations to the IOC Executive Board with the goal of ensuring that athletes' needs are met. Elections for the IOC Athletes' Commission are held during each Olympic Games. Nominees are voted upon by the Games' entire athlete delegation in a secret ballot. During the Winter Games, the top two athletes with the highest number of votes are elected for an eight-year term. Should Scott be elected to the IOC Athletes' Commission at the 2006 Olympic Winter Games in Turin she would also gain IOC membership status and join Richard Pound as Canada's second IOC member.

Do you feel ready to take on an Olympic sport? You may, if you were also on a fiberglass sled, wearing a helmet, about to rip down an icy track at speeds where you actually experience G forces. Intrigued? Luge may be just the sport you are looking for. Luge, the French word for sled, became a Winter Olympic sport in 1964. In the early years, the U.S. had struggled to make an impact at the elite competitive level. However, the team has gradually gained strength and momentum and made history in 1998 earning both silver (doubles Chris Thorpe and Gordy Sheer) and bronze (doubles Mark Grimmette and Brian Martin) Olympic medals. The duo of Grimmette and Martin went on to earn Olympic silver in 2002 and continue to dominate the World Cup series today. The recent success of the U.S. team has gained this sport increased recognition and understanding. For those that may have seen luge on television, but could use a refresher: in luge, the athlete rides a small, molded fiberglass sled (technically known as a pod) on top of steel edge runners down a mountainside, in a frozen track, at speeds around 74-83 miles per hour. The body is positioned feet first, lying on your back while steering is accomplished by pressing the legs into the bow, or curved flexible section of the runner.
