Olympic Luge is a winter sliding sport where competitors make timed runs down a narrow, twisting, and icy track in small, one- or two-person sleds. Athletes lie on their backs, feet first, and use their body weight and steering techniques to navigate the course at high speeds, often exceeding 80 miles per hour. The sport is part of the Winter Olympics and features various events, including singles and doubles races. Luge requires a combination of skill, precision, and quick reflexes, as athletes must react to the track's curves and changes in elevation while maintaining control of their sleds.
