men's run 1
They need to combine skeleton and moguls.
Imagine if made the course end with a brick wall.
>he's an engineer, the perfect brain for a sport like skeletonwhat does this mean
>>153402986no idea i would definitely kill myself with this sport >t.engineer
>>153402986turns out he fucking sucks at this sport actually
Do they have burn notice on Matt Weston?
>Israeli>called 'Firestone'
>>153402880Anime
>>153403244??
Why is it called skeleton?
>>153403316>The source of the word is debated; some speculate that it comes from the skeleton-like appearance of the original sleds, and others an incorrectly anglicized version of the Norwegian word for toboggan, "Kjelke"
>>153403329>an incorrectly anglicized version of the Norwegian word for toboggan, "Kjelke""incorrectly" is an understatement.
Is it just fastest single time over the 4 heats wins?
>>153403586no, it's total time over 4 heats
>>153403650cool that might be more funso if you come off then its over? probably in more ways than one mind you
Heat 2 starting
>>153403670Yeah, you need to put down four good runs to win
>>153403670Yes, pretty much. Honestly the sliding sports can be kind of boring to watch for a lot of it, but the final runs are usually exciting because even a big lead can vanish very quickly. Like yesterday, when the Americans dropped from winning to sixth place on one of the final turns.
Our guy fucking sucks elephant arse
>>153403714still gained a place
>French man named Defeat lmao
Apparently skeleton and other sled sports give the athletes a lot of CTE At least boxing and American football is cool, imagine getting retarded and punch-drunk from this "sport". Grim
>>153403794I'm already retarded as fuck so put me in a canoe and send me down the hill
>Barefoot>is wearing shoesThe fuck is his problem
>>153403794I'd rather do fun superfast sliding than get punched in the face
>>153403794how?
why don't they add some steering
wtf this is actually kinoit's so much cooler than luge
kino
>three-way tiewew
>>153402880Is this more dangerous than Luge or ?
>>153404019depends what you consider riskier - higher speed or going down face first
Ice cold
>>153403962Even disregarding crashes, you get shaken around a lot at high speeds. Especially if the track isn't in great condition.I would imagine it's kind of like a badly maintained rollercoaster except worse.
>>153404035I thought they use the same board, how could you get different speed?
>>153404086feet down position is more areodynamic
How did China get first when he was doing a ton of up and down
>>153404086They use different sleds for skeleton and lugeEven within events, each country makes their own sleds
>>153403962It's a hard board on a hard surface, and the only part with some flexibility is your body, so all the energy gets transferred to your body.
gbwinslol
Maybe after tomorrow they'll stop making threads to bully us
Holy shit Lizzy Yarnold blew the fuck up
>>153404174pics?
>>153403226It actually makes sense, you knowJewish diaspora in US is fricking huge, so it makes sense that jews have English second names.You think why so many of Italian athlete in this Olimpics have German surnames?
>>153403226>Jared Alec Firestone (Hebrew: ג’ארד יוסף פיירסטון; born March 30, 1990) is an American-born Israeli skeleton racer and a lawyer based in Florida.>In 2021, Firestone and Adam Edelman co-founded a non-profit organization, Advancing Jewish Athletics.[12] Firestone is nicknamed the "The Jewish Jet".kek
>>153404743>"The Jewish Jet".Sounds like a porn name
are they having trouble with the start of the course and the turn 4 exit corner like the lugers?
