Is luge difficult?
Is luge difficult? Luge is one of the easy sport to compete in the Winter Olympics Games; however, it takes more than lying down on your back to have a higher chance of winning.
Can kids go on Luge?
Children must be at least 6 years old and 110cm tall to ride the Luge alone. For their safety, we recommend children under 8 years old remain on the Jungle (Orange) Track. Clear signage will help riders to identify the appropriate tracks.
Do heavier people go faster in luge?
Since these are gravity sports, being heavier will make you go faster. So there are maximum weights set to ensure a level playing field. Skeleton players can add ballast to their sleds to get closer to the maximum. In luge, the lighter athletes can wear lead so that everyone weighs the same.
