The only two winter olypcis I saw was the Luge and Cross-country skiing, and speed skating, but the luge I think was most interesting.  Luge was a very cool event that went by pretty fast.  Each person had something that looked like a sled but they had footrest’s that I think were used for steering.  Each person would at first be holding on to two bars and would practice thier launch to begin and after their practice they would shoot them selves as fast as they could and then they would try to speed up by pattling with their hands, then they would lie down.  There were three laps and the second person would try to beet the first persons time.  They would end up going about 80mph and even to 91mph so every time you saw the guy on the screen you would only see them for about 3 seconds.  They also had masks on there face, but I have no clue why.
