Luge

Luge is a sport where one to two people are in a sled are either racing down a track or are racing around the track and are doing a lot of tricks to get around the track faster than the opponent. It is a sport that is played in the Olympics and from past races Germany seems to be the team that’s on top and taking all the gold medals.

It is a mixed gender sport but usually the races for the men and women are separated due to it not being fair if a man and woman race.

In luge, many tracks lack start houses. Athletes are left in the cold wearing paper-thin suits, under which are only t-shirts and tight fitting shorts. When we get cold, we get stiff. This results in a struggle to drive our sleds properly, leading to a higher chance of crashing. Frustrat-ingly, we’re unable to wear anything thicker underneath our suits because anything too thick will lead to us being far less aerodynamic, and, in consequence, making us slower. To solve this dilemma, I came up…

Mentions of sled competing first appeared in accounts from Norway in 1480 and the Erz Mountain province in 1552. The first worldwide luge race took place in February 1883 with 21 participants in lieu of six nations, as well as the United States. The four-kilometer race, from the Swiss resorts of St. Wolfgang to Klosters, and prearranged by inns in Davos, was won by Georg Robertson, a scholar from Australia, and Peter Minch, a mailman from Klosters, who each raced to an indistinguishable first…

Due to these acts of resistance low birth rates became a reoccurring and common characteristic among sugar plantations in…
