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.

Sled dogs are highly trained dogs that are used to pull a dog sled. Any dog can be used as a sled dog as long as he can pull the sled. But International Sled Dog Veterinary Medical Association has put some criteria that must be satisfied before qualifying a dog as a sled dog. The sled dog must have willingness to be harnessed and should have desire to participate in the activity for which it is harnessed. The dog must be well trained and must be vaccinated.

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…

Sullivan Jackson Kachigan Physics 16 February, 2018 SAHC: SJ How Mass Effects Luge Luge is an unusual sport where the rider or riders on a sled-like device are barreling down an ice track at speeds up to 97 mph. Because of these tremendous speeds, one may think that the rider(s) must be light and nimble so they could glide through the course with ease.

Two-Man Luge, without a question, is a fairy tale! Claire Battershill’s “Two-Man Luge” displays strong evidence towards the famously known fairy tale, Cinderella.

Throughout the centuries Fairy Tales have provided a specific design for authors to follow and for audiences to react. “Two-Man Luge” is an unintentional Fairy Tale that does just…

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…

For this case study, the focus is on luge; a winter sport that was first introduced at the 1964 Winter Olympics in Austria (Whistler Sliding Centre, 2014, pp. 4). Athletes of the sport, called sliders, lay down flat on a sled that is no bigger than the length between their shoulders and knees (Layton, 2014, p. 3, pp.3). The aim of the sport is to finish laps on an ice track with the fastest time. Construction for the Whistler Sliding Centre began in 2005 (Whistler Sliding Centre, 2014, pp. 2)…

Because the 3 course meals at the restaurant are only in evening till late visitors who might want to do some form of activity like the luge they can’t because of the closing hours so if Skyline can have the luge going in the evening they could get more revenue because visitors can go for a ride as well as have something to eat once they are finished.
