Olympics discussion

As you will probably know, Sochi 2014 is coming upon us fast. You may also know that I'm a bit of a skeleton and bobsleigh fan. So, who knows what skeleton is? Can you imagine going down an ice chute, head first, no protection excepting for a helmet, flattened by the G-force, at speeds of over 80mph (The British No 1, Lizzie Yarnold exceeded 82 mph in a recent race) on what is little more than a tea-tray? Would you have the guts for that?
It's technical too. You have to decide which runners to select, and then hope conditions won't change. I found this website, which explains a little of what it's like: http://www.head-first-ed.co.uk

Will you be watching the Commonwealth Games and the World Championships in athletics this year?
