As of 2011, only one location remained open, in the western Denver suburb of Lakewood, Colorado. There was also a northern Arizona chain of Mexican restaurants using the Casa Bonita name founded in 2003. Locations included Flagstaff, Cottonwood, Lake Havasu, Prescott, Prescott Valley, Sedona, and Paradise Valley.
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.
How fast do skeleton racers go? Competitorsâ speeds usually range from 70 to 80 miles per hour, but speeds can get up to 90 miles per hour. If flying down ice at freeway-level speeds, face-first, doesnât scare you, then you either need to do some soul-searching or become a skeleton racer ASAP.
