All about Olympic Sledding The Olympics have three types of sledding events; bobsled, luge, and skeleton. First graders demonstrated techniques of each sledding type on our sledding hill, and then wrote about it! Bobsled can have 2 or 3 people on it. A bobsled goes 6 miles. A bobsled only goes on a nice track. …Greg I get blinded when I go on the bobsled. A bobsled goes really fast. The bobsled is fun. They wear a helmet. …Jacob |
Skeleton riders wear a helmet and special shoes and special gloves. Skeletons go really fast. Skeletons have to pick up speed. Skeletons ride on their bellies. Luge riders have spikes on their gloves. Bobsleds can fit three people in it. Skeleton riders have to run to get speed. Sleds are fun. …Logan There are three sleds that we are learning about. One is the bobsled. Two is the skeleton. Three is luge. My favorite is the skeleton because the more weight I put on the sled, I go faster. …Tyler |
