Facing the ice in skeleton, one of the fastest Olympic sports
It’s heart-stopping to watch every Winter Olympics: The skeleton competition. Athletes quite literally face the ice, which is just inches from their face as they zoom down a track at more than 80 mph. So how do they do it — and why? John Chandler traveled to Lake Placid to see for himself how athletes manage to do it.

Viking Queens on Instagram: "Skeleton racing is a high-speed winter sliding sport where an athlete rides a small, flat sled down an icy track, lying face down and headfirst. With no steering wheel or brakes, competitors control the sled by subtly shifting their body weight and applying pressure with their shoulders or knees. Reaching speeds of over 80 miles per hour, skeleton is known for its intensity and the extreme proximity of the rider’s face to the ice."
