Good to know
  • Men’s skeleton made two early appearances on the Olympic programme at its “ancestral” home of St. Moritz in 1928 and 1948. It was then dropped until it reappeared as a men’s and women’s event at Salt Lake City in 2002.

Usage examples
  • Skeleton, which takes place on the same track or “run” as the bobsleigh, starts with a running "push" phase, after which the athlete dives onto the sled and descends the track. Athletes lie prone, facing downhill, with arms at their sides, steering the skeleton with movements of their body.
skeleton sledding
Usage examples
  • Skeleton sledding competitions are typically held on the same courses used for bobsled contests. It is a dangerous and thrilling sport in which riders, with their faces just inches above the icy course, attain speeds over 129 km (80 miles) per hour.
