What is this new Olympic event skeleton?  I hear it involves a sled.  I love sleds.?

So you love sleds.  Good news!  Skeleting is one part sled, one part you!  (That is, if you're interested in driving a one-person sled down an ice track at top speeds of 80 mph!)  What makes the sport different from luge is that you're face first, stomach-side facing the ice.  After you make that running start and jump on board your sled, I can imagine it would feel a lot like it's just you and your helmet facing a narrow track of hard, hard ice.  You still interested?\n\nIt's the oldest known sledding sport, actually.  Hailing from St. Moritz, Switzerland, when the Cresta run was built in 1884.  In 1928 and 1948, the Olympics were held in St. Moritz, so they included this oddball Skeleton sport!  ...but it wasn't actually permanently added (or I guess considered anything but crazy?) until 2002.  Maybe that's because those X-Games couldn't possibly be worse?  Best,\n\n`k.

Of the sports in the Winter Olympics, I have to admit that skeleton bob is quite mad, but not the maddest. I think that honour has to go to Speed Skiing in Albertville in 1992. It was only a demonstration sport, but the winner was clocked at 212kph (not a sensible speed by any stretch of the imagination)

Not this year as it isn't a Winter Olympic sport.However, it is listed as an official sport on the Olympics website so it will be part of the Olympics in 2008.

I don't even think figure skating should be a sport.  No offense intended to anyone, especially because I still consider figure skaters athletes, but it isn't a sport!  It's more a competition, like ballroom dancing or something.  You don't see ballroom dancing in the Olympics.

Show jumping- equestrian-Not only is it the only Olympic event that teams up humans and animals, but it is also one of the only times at the games when men and women compete together.\npairs and ice dancing\nMarathon but not in the Olympic games

because there are (feelslike) 1000 sports for summer but winter needs stupid stuff to fill in time. I love snowboard but I think its not olympic, Maybe just slalom.  plus its hard to include,more, sports that are judged subjectivly like figure skating.

They'd just use snow machines to make it. I'm sure they use em anyways for certain events.

i loved it. he really is king on ice. he was great (though i think he can do even better). he deserved gold medal. i also think Weir's marks were too small. he deserved at least bronze.

If I were one of those guys (hm...cannot quite picture this as I am a gurl, but anyway!) if I were one of them, I'd probably worry more about being able to control the speed of my sled than about how faggy I came across! I mean, just thinking about the km/h they make, gives me the creeps, honestly! Think of the massacre if they'd tumble out of the thing...

ice skating and gymnastics, they're just so pretty...  i would also like to see bowling added (Thats my sport) btw to all yas who say thats not a real sport, i would like to see you bowl a 300, if it were that easy we'd all be, and trust me its not, im still waiting for my ring...   Also bowling is the 2nd most participated sport in the world, or at least the US, not sure... and i dont think it would compare to lets say the gymnastics ratings, but i think it can get people interested...  I think what they should do even if theres not enough interest in the sport to do it every year, they could add a few rotating sports, until it catches on... just do it every other olympics or something, but at least it gets the sport noticed and in the door...  ok im rambling\n\nEm

Wrong. They won a silver in the women's skeleton racing in Turin.
