Double luge

No, it's not a euphemism, although you do have to get pretty friendly with your fellow competitor

I've just been watching this on the Winter Olympics - the men's double luge. Two men, lying one on top of the other on their backs, on a glorified tea tray type sledge, whizzing down a steep, curved ice track.

My question is, who the heck invented luge and why, and who the heck thought "let's all pile on and make it a team activity?"

What sports/activities do you look at and wonder who and how the heck they came into existence?

Isn't it basically bowls on ice?

I’ll bet that the Luge came about when a few hundred years back, Dave (who was likely inebriated) was struggling to push his sledge so enlisted the aid of his similarly pissed as a fart mates, Fred and Bert. Unfortunately, after an almighty combined push, they all fell on the sledge and….Whoosh!!! The rest is history

Obsessed with curling right now, I love the tactics and the drama! Luge is flipping bonkers. What's the deal with mogul? Skiing on a bump hill and doing a fancy twirl in the air?! Insane

On a mooch

The luge came about centuries ago before they put runners on it and called it a sledge.

It’s no different than as a kid jumping on your tray, holding on for dear life and pelting down the hill.

Love the luge

It's the double luge, lying on top of your compatriot that tickled me most

you have to look it at its Orgins, native American braves using the sport to battle themselves, it took a watered down euro man Mr Beers from Canada to water down the sport and present it the the Royal family over a thousand years later,

Hurling here has the same backstory, played by celtic warriors when not at war to keep their skillset sharp for thousands of years, seen by the invading Brits who didn't have the skillset nor balls to play it,, pooooft the world had field kockey soon after,

And judging by the twitter reactions after Sky sports started showing the modern game the locals here still don't understand it and it still terrifies them

I can see how cricket might have evolved (hit ball with flat bit of wood) but playing a match that lasts a week or whatever?! Yeah, any sport that includes scones and tea partway through is crazy to me too

Exactly, how they can play for 5 days and still draw is a sport for people with two much time in their hands
