A Dutch talkshow host absolutely wrecked the notion of this sport, and skeleton as well. It’s basically just going down a slide one at a time on a little sled, was his point. And the difference between these sports is the way you lie on the sled.
The main difference between Luge and Skeleton (beyond the obvious) is that in Luge you launch and accelerate with your hands and arms. In Skeleton you do so with your legs. That’s a big reason why they’re both valid as olympic sports.

Now, hang on to something here, I’m about to blow your fucking minds - what if we have a different name, and we get to use all our extremities?
We could call it, uh, Gofastdownhill. Write that down. WRITE THAT DOWN!
We have that, it’s bobsled.
Yeah it’s like louge doubles but doubles and sitting up right.
And skiing is just sliding down a hill with 2 wooded planks strapped to your feet… What’s your point?
And if my grandmother had wheels she would have been a bike
Same with bobsled.
