But at least compared with all the other petrifying Olympic sliding sports, skeleton isnât as fast as youâd think. Matthew Antoine of the United States won bronze in menâs skeleton today with a maximum speed of 129.2 km/hr, or 80.3 mph.
Skeleton is a sliding sport which is usually played in the winter. The participants ride a small sled down a frozen track while their faces are lying down. The term skeleton was made from the bony appearance of the sled that was being used. Skeleton is now part of the Winter Olympics since 2002. For the sleds being used, the Federation Internationale de Bobsleigh et de Tobogganing or FIBT has regulate sled dimensions. For men, the maximum combined weight should be 115 kg, and the maximum sled weight should be 43 kg.
