The most dangerous sport Winter Olympics
If you ask athletes who play winter sports, which is the most dangerous, the answer will definitely be Luge. It was ice skating on the back.
Runners will lie on their backs on a small sled, freeing them on a trough. Unlike Skeleton, Luge players will not see the road. Because raising the neck will reduce the speed of the vehicle.
Backward skating has been around since 1905, in Switzerland. By 1964, Luge was put into the official competition at the Winter Olympics. So far, this sport has always participated in the Winter Olympics held every 4 years.
Depending on the terrain of the racetrack, the car can reach speeds of 154 km for hour as in Whistler, Canada. At such a high speed, there is no protection except for a helmet, a small accident can completely kill the player’s life.
As at the Vancouver Olympics, Georgian athlete Nodar David Kumaritashvili passed away during a training session. His car overturned when cornering, as a result the athlete flew straight out of the trough. That smashed into the iron stake and stopped breathing on the way to the hospital.
The Jamaican roller coaster team was not appreciated at the Sochi Winter Olympics. It is also understandable because in tropical countries like Jamaica there are not many athletes competing in winter sports. So the Jamaican roller coaster team first appeared at the Winter Olympics after 12 years is also a success.
Even so, member of the Jamaican team Winston Watts has revealed his intention to invite “the fastest runner on the planet” Usain Bolt to attend. In roller skating, the first steps to bring a sledge into the starting position are very important and almost decisive to victory. And if Jamaica had Usain Bolt in the squad, maybe they’d make it.
