	Bobsled, skeleton have had long ride through history - 2002 Winter Olympics coverage
		In a way, skeleton has been around as long as daredevils have blasted down slopes on small sleds, careening along on their stomachs, braving the ice in a thrilling head-first ride.

		Skeleton is similar to bobsled—it involves sliding down an icy track at high speed—with the difference being that you luge head-first, an inch off the ice on a 4-foot metal ‘sled.’ Nurre describes it as “a cookie sheet with runners,” with no mechanisms other than minute body movements to control steering.
		Nurre, formerly a track runner, says he was intrigued by the skeleton competition in the 2002 Olympics at Salt Lake City.
		Skeleton was reinstated as an Olympic sport for the 2002 Olympic Games, with the U.S. winning gold medals in both men’s and women’s teams and women also taking the silver.

		Their moccasins crunched on the sand and slipped several times on the stones beneath the weight of the limp, exhausted body, and I can still see every inch of the pared cedar branch he had used for a paddle on that lonely and dreadful journey.
		Jake and himself, in a nine-foot canoe, had upset in the middle of a lake, and had held hands across the upturned craft for several hours, eventually cutting holes in her ribs to stick their arms through and grasp hands lest the numbness of the cold water should overcome them.
