Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Well done to the woman from Bath for getting gold.

Does anyone know why they have events for head first(skeleton) and feet first(luge) ? I can understand bobsleigh as a team event - but not the different individual disciplines. It could be like swimming I suppose.

Thats like asking why do they have downhill and slalom skiing, or 100m, 200m and 400m. They're completely different sports, requiring different skill sets.

 Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

I do not see that. It is the same course. They are just facing a different way on the vehicle.

The other options, such as sideways, might need a much wider track. Given a competitors natural desire to reduce wind resistance and hence go faster, I imagine that it would be easier to write the rules for head first and feet first styles as compared to navel-first and coccyx-first events.

I don't know much about it but having watched both on TV, the sleds do not look the same and the method of steering/control is completely different in both disciplines. If they were the same the athletes would compete in both surely and double their chances of success?

There's an untapped market for head first on your back.

And with a wider track, you could do cross-type events. wink
