Luge, the oldest known winter sport, has been a competitive international discipline since 1883. It was introduced into the Olympic Games in 1964 since it lives up to the highest ideals
of Sportsmanship set forth by the Olympic Charter.

A luge is a small one- or two-person sled on which one sleds face up and feet-first down a track. Steering is done by flexing the sled's runners with the calf of each leg or exerting opposite
shoulder pressure to the seat. The term Luge also refers to the winter sport which involves racing with such sleds.

Luge is a technology driven, highly-competitive sport in which aerodynamics, mental toughness, heightened precision in angles and mechanics are some of the key factors that ultimately
determine a luge pilot’s success.
