A luge practitioner told me once that skeleton is the most stable of the 3 sledges, and that you never flip over, fall or fly in the air with it. Bobsleigh, where you are far more protected tends to flip over far more easily, and luge is probably the most dangerous since you are not protected at all and the sledge tends to fly at any mistake made.
Now this is a real sport! Everything I can ask for; obscure, no sponsor backing, no fan support, no notoriety , nobody cares, all to race 4 runs, once every 4 years, to risk your life for absolutely no money & if you are lucky, a gold plated piece of lead. 🥇🛷🛷 That's what we call passion, kids!
Obscure ?? No. It's in the Olympics. No Sponsorship ?? Look Again. No fans ??? The people watching in person are fake ?? This video has been viewed over 500,000 times. No notoriety ??? Since when is that a requirement ??? No body cares ??? Again watch the video. How (deleted expletive) are you ???
This MUST be the most dangerous sport ever. 140 km/h, head first down on a hill with two swords under you. Shoulders bouncing everytime. They should at least use some neck protection, like F1 pilots...
No it’s not, it might be the sport where the stakes are the highest should something go wrong, but I’m sure things like boxing have s much higher fatality risk.
5:10 there wasn't a need for the negativity from the commentator. anyone who's doing something for the first time isn't going to be as good. rather focus on all of the positives of making it all the way to the Olympics
cites I think should host Summer or Winter Olympics Tokyo 2020 (2021) Summer Beijing 2022 Winter Paris 2024 Summer Italy 2026 Winter Los Angeles 2028 Summer Calgary 2030 Winter Toronto 2032 Summer Moscow 2034 Winter Minneapolis 2036 Summer
I think Sapporo will get 2030 winter games. 2032 summer games will take place in Australia for sure. 2034 winter will arrive in the Salt Lake City, US. 2036 summer Olympics maybe in Germany. Those were my bets.
I would like to see uploaded videos if the men's and women's Luge, bobsled and skeleton Full finals reply of Peyongchang 2018 winter olympic games, so please upload them Olympic Channel on TH-cam.
First off y'all are nasty these are athletes and deserve respect not getting calls PAWG by some internet simp. And second why are these commentators dragging these women so hard??

Commentator: she’s making some mistakes
Me: she’s still alive at the end of the course. How is anything a mistake?
I think the same 😅
Yeah they were kinda mean
you have to be truly fearless for this sport.
Yep,especially speeding down head first.
Yeah, I thought riding a prey animal at speed over jumps was petrifying but this is 100x worse 🤣🤣
Yep, I would have been straight down terrified doing this. I probably would have been sick for a week after this.

You gotta trust the guy who built the track.
4:32 This was so sweet! I couldn't stop smiling watching how enthusiastic and happy all her supporters were. Well done Simidele Adeagbo!

olympic medals are not plated right? that's actual gold, silver and bronze

it's called skeleton because that's all that's left of you at the finish
I love how happy the male announcer is for all of them. He was great!
26:16 - The airbag worked well against the collision.
7:15 Japan just drifted what a coincidence
Tokyo drift

It felt like Deja vu

This MUST be the most dangerous sport ever. 140 km/h, head first down on a hill with two swords under you. Shoulders bouncing everytime. They should at least use some neck protection, like F1 pilots...
Luge is worse because you can see less of where you are going hence the deaths while skeleton has 0
I present you Isle of Man TT. Death rate is over well over 1/race.
Ha ha "pilots" that's cute!
ROTFL, Why stop there? Let's call them F1 astronauts! 🤣🤣😂😂
@@atomknight8361 and higher speeds...
BUT the gayest sport is that 2 man luge...jeesus that's awkward.
Well it can't be that dangerous if woman are doing it. It's not Bull riding...
Glad to see no broom or debris on the track that could affect the contestants.
Shhh, I'm the one who left the broom on the track! My co-worker dared me too.
Easiest 100 bucks ever!
wdym?
@@gsl4295 Only the chosen ones by TH-cam's algorithm can understand 😏
I wish it was rocks or sum on the slide no cap
Hahaha
30:38 That hyping up ritual, I love it
Adeagbo and Oguchi didn't deserve his comments. They're in the freaking Olympics, you're winning just by being there
Agreed. The commentators, I've realized, are just pure nonsense.
They said she's only been doing it for 4 months. How many other sports do you think you can do for 4 months and then go to the olympics in?
I didn't even know this was a thing. Learn something new everyday! That's what YT should be used for!
Wow the first lady was 36? Crazy intense sports at that age, that's awesome
This is legit the most dangerous sport in the entirety of the Olympics.
Your bones don't break, they shatter. Just a fact.s
No it’s not, it might be the sport where the stakes are the highest should something go wrong, but I’m sure things like boxing have s much higher fatality risk.
That looks like so much fun
4:39 is where racing starts.
Wow, thanks 😊
I would leave a brown trace behind me...these girls are awesome
I've loved this sport for a long time. Really wish I lived near a track
I believe there are only 15 tracks in the world and all in the Northern Hemisphere…
@@chrismuller6563 there’s in my state I just have the time it money to travel to it often
At least in luge you can use your legs as a crash buffer, skeleton looks unreal, though I guess at that sort of speed it doesn’t make much difference.
34:09 The action followed by my exact reaction.
hahaha I noticed that too XD
Skeleton is always attractive.
Wait a minute...
The official Olympic channel likes this comment lol no other comments do they like.. only this one

I love this sport! Incredible!
Looking forward to Beijing 2022! 😆🇨🇳
👁️👄👁️
Had a lump I’m my throat watching that again 🥲
TODAY I LEARNED: luge and skeleton are 2 totally different events
Ive got a good idea..... lets go down an ice chute face first on a tea tray!
36:02 2010 Winter Olympics Germany literally took silver and bronze in women's Skeleton come on announcer.

Here for the fearless jiggling.. thank you
I’m just here for the highlights
Headfirst at nearly 80 mph. Sheesh!
Watch out for up and coming skeletoner Sabrina Carpenter Linton Jones from the UK, major talent 🔥🚀💨
First off y'all are nasty these are athletes and deserve respect not getting calls PAWG by some internet simp. And second why are these commentators dragging these women so hard??
Excellent. Many thanks.
WHY IS THIS A SPORT
24:41
If I had to pick one Olympic sport to do…..even though it looks obviously terrifying. 🎉🎉🎉 still 🤍 it the most x
Fascinating. Cannot wait.
125kph: faster than my car
If only I was 50 years younger….lol!
From the broom the fan and the american now i gut spam with winter olympics. Cot complaining tho this thing is great
watching first time
26:15 thank me later
lol i was thinking the same thing
based coomer
Apart from the helmet what other protective gear do these athletes wear?
Kevlar patches on elbows and knees. Some people wear mouth guards and back protectors too.
24:41
I've got to say skeleton is luge forwards and luge is skeleton backwards.
Please post the Baseball/Softball replays of any Games (Bercelona, Atlanta, Sydney, Athens, Beijing)
Look so fun
I thought I was watching this at 2x speed...
Oh, so it's bobsled except your whole body is the sled. Nice
one thing for sure this sport is not for the faint hearted one wrong move and you can break yourself
Men’s Skeleton plz
Olimpíadas da diversidade
Ice cream and whole lotta cake 🎂😉 22:12-22:16 .... Sheesh look at that bounce
Do men's skeleton and luge finals next.
12:10
2:59
Skeleton 😍💙
Wow fast!!!
Are their uniforms padded? It feels like they should be if not.
What is the max speed that an athlete can reach in this discipline?
140 ish
I wanna see some curling preferably the Women's bronze medal game from Sochi 2014
1for push. 1 for gear. I am trying to think more optimally.
This is sport that seem everyone can do it..
Can someone explain how can the athlete have control over the board?
It looks fun ngl
36:28
Try your legs. Give a push.
More like I am tired.😂
From brazil
26:15
最高に抜けるスポーツ
15:23 did that girl just posed for a pic with the skeleton behind her? That could be a cool pic
Protective gear🛠💡
Shooow
how do you even practice this sport?
At an ice track. I do about 50-60 rides a season.
I do it at our hill nearby home :) like skeleton witg the face front position
From 1st place to no medal what a fall.....
Why don't you try swimming?
Be prepared with protective gear.😎
