    I forget which comedian it was, might have been Jerry Seinfeld, but he was talking about the luge, how it’s almost not a sport. “He’s pointing his toes, what an athlete.” Then he got into the involuntary luge. “No! Let me go! I don’t wanna do the luge.”

    There was also Eddie The Eagle, the not quite a ski jumper who was the first to represent Britain in the sport in Calgary in '88.
