In Luge and Skeleton, the goal is to go fast. Just not too fast.

Technology and safety are clashing in sliding sports, where sleds made for speed are finding tracks built to slow them down. Yanqing, China - U.S.A. Luge has partnered with Ferrari to use their mechanical and aeronautical engineering professors to improve their sleds.

The expanding incorporation of technology into sliding sports is happening with one overarching goal: making sleds faster. Virtually every country with aspirations of winning Olympic medals at this month’s Beijing Olympics in bobsled, skeleton and luge is now aligned with a racecar designer, aeronautics expert or rocket scientist. This is being done in an effort to make sleds go faster and hopefully win more medals. They will chase those medals at China’s Yanqing National Sliding Center, where the track’s 16 winding curves are designed to resemble a...
