Luge

Topic: Luge

First you need a fiber glass runner with steel blades ( a luge sled ). Next you need a person brave enough to ride it. The things you need to were to luge: gloves: which are spiked at the finger tips to assist with the start and the paddling motion as the riders accelerate onto the track. Helmet: they are made out of a combination of kevlar/fiberglass shell and foam padding and provide a lot of protection, for example: if you got in an accident. They are also really light weight. Germany has the most medals in luge. Some of the American luge athletes are Tony Benshoof, Mark Grimmette, Brian Martin, and Erin Hamlin. Some of the home athletes, or Canadian athletes are Regan Lauscher, Alex Gough, Meaghan Simister, Chris Moffat, and Mike Moffat.**
