  1. Hello today I will talk about the discipline that I chose , theSKELETON Created by : Nicolas Gagnon

  2. History of the Skeleton Like bobsleigh, skeleton has its origins in 19th century in Switzerland.  The Cresta Run in St. Moritz is often considered the home of skeleton racing.  It was on that track that skeleton made its first two Olympic appearances at the Winter Games in 1928 and 1948.  It would be 54 years before skeleton returned to the Olympic program at Salt Lake City 2002.

  3. Extra It is not entirely clear as to where the name skeleton came from.  One explanation is that in 1892 an Englishman surprised his friends with a new sled made mostly from metal that looked like a skeleton.  Another is that the name “Skele” derives from an incorrect Anglicization of the Norwegian word “Kjaelke”.
