A luge track is a specially designed course for the sport of luge, where athletes slide down on a small, one- or two-person sled. The track is typically made of ice and features a series of twists, turns, and straight sections, allowing for high-speed racing. Luge tracks are built to meet specific safety and design standards set by organizations like the International Luge Federation. They can vary in length and complexity, with some tracks being used for competitive events, including the Winter Olympics. Proper maintenance is essential to ensure optimal conditions for athletes.
