Had a brief google and it would seem the main attribute required of the middle two is strength and explosive acceleration at the start. Once tucked in I imagine they just pray to god, confess their sins and concentrate on leaning the same way as the pilot.
The Skeleton starts later this week, which is relatable to we who remember regular winter snows, as it’s essentially just sledging. I came a serious cropper once as a 10yo, careering into a hedge at the bottom of a hill. Cuts, bruises and a twisted arm. Something of a badge of honour though, proudly showing-off the damage to my school chums.
I’m enjoying my dips into the games, thanks in part to this jolly thread ![]()
