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
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 RUclips.
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.

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.

olympic medals are not plated right? that's actual gold, silver and bronze
@@1ma4ighter gold medals are in silver plated in gold. I know I am down such a rabbit holed during the pandemic lockdown.

4:32 This was so sweet! I couldn't stop smiling watching how enthusiastic and happy all her supporters were. Well done Simidele Adeagbo!
there wasn't a need for the negativity from the commentator
I love how happy the male announcer is for all of them. He was great!
it's called skeleton because that's all that's left of you at the finish
30:38 That hyping up ritual, I love it
7:15 Japan just drifted what a coincidence
Tokyo drift
*eurobeat intensifies*
im dying stfuuu
It felt like Deja vu
Initial S
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 RUclips's algorithm can understand 😏
I wish it was rocks or sum on the slide no cap
Hahaha
That looks like so much fun
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?
Wow the first lady was 36? Crazy intense sports at that age, that's awesome
I didn't even know this was a thing. Learn something new everyday! That's what YT should be used for!
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...
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.
4:39 is where racing starts.
Wow, thanks 😊
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

Like Jello XD
27:20 at .25 speed..
Imagine a Guy that Wanted to be a penguin years ago,and now it's an Olympic sport
34:09 The action followed by my exact reaction.
hahaha I noticed that too XD
I love this sport! Incredible!
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.
I would leave a brown trace behind me...these girls are awesome

Stop fighting, children!
Had a lump I’m my throat watching that again 🥲
this sport is so cool but kinda funny too
Skeleton is always attractive.
Wait a minute...
The official Olympic channel likes this comment lol no other comments do they like.. only this one

One of the scariest Olympic events
Curling is the scariest.

Thank you!
Looking forward to Beijing 2022! 😆🇨🇳

Please, upload full video from Women's Skeleton cometition in Beijing 2022!!! :)
Good run
Try using those spikes with extra push. Foot front. Literally lean forward no fear😎
Watch out for up and coming skeletoner Sabrina Carpenter Linton Jones from the UK, major talent 🔥🚀💨

12:10
Excellent. Many thanks.
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.
This sport Rocks!
24:41
Bouncy ride ;)
125kph: faster than my car
From the broom the fan and the american now i gut spam with winter olympics. Cot complaining tho this thing is great
If I had to pick one Olympic sport to do…..even though it looks obviously terrifying. 🎉🎉🎉 still 🤍 it the most x
Fascinating. Cannot wait.
If only I was 50 years younger….lol!
I’m just here for the highlights
Ice cream and whole lotta cake 🎂😉 22:12-22:16 .... Sheesh look at that bounce
Men’s Skeleton plz
Headfirst at nearly 80 mph. Sheesh!
i felt pretty bad for the lady that came 4th
26:15 thank me later
lol i was thinking the same thing
based coomer
Please post the Baseball/Softball replays of any Games (Bercelona, Atlanta, Sydney, Athens, Beijing)
26:16 if u get to slap this pawg
She could probably physically rip you in two
I wanna see some curling preferably the Women's bronze medal game from Sochi 2014
I've got to say skeleton is luge forwards and luge is skeleton backwards.
I thought I was watching this at 2x speed...
2:59
Olimpíadas da diversidade
Look so fun
Can someone explain how can the athlete have control over the board?
Skeleton 😍💙
It looks fun ngl
one thing for sure this sport is not for the faint hearted one wrong move and you can break yourself
1for push. 1 for gear. I am trying to think more optimally.
Protective gear🛠💡
WHY IS THIS A SPORT
Are their uniforms padded? It feels like they should be if not.
36:28
Wow fast!!!
26:15
What is the max speed that an athlete can reach in this discipline?
140 ish
This is sport that seem everyone can do it..
15:23 did that girl just posed for a pic with the skeleton behind her? That could be a cool pic
Try your legs. Give a push.
More like I am tired.😂
Shaking hands with astronaut.😂
Do men's skeleton and luge finals next.
From brazil
where da broom at?
how do you even practice this sport?
At an ice track. I do about 50-60 rides a season.
Where does she practice skeleton in South Africa?
I cant think if she out of way
Warm up those metals😊
Oh, so it's bobsled except your whole body is the sled. Nice
How do they steer?
Shoulders i think
Their feet/toes, they scrape them on the ice
@@Thomashorsman oh guess i was wrong then, it just seemed fairly imprecise comparitively.
@@krumbes7706 I’m pretty sure you’re both right I think they use body weight with their head shoulders and hips to initiate turns and also use their toes on the ice to turn as well.

A slight tip of the head, pressure on side support. Worst case - touch a toe to the ice to stabilise.
