Viking Queens on Instagram: "Skeleton racing is a high-speed winter sliding sport where an athlete rides a small, flat sled down an icy track, lying face down and headfirst. With no steering wheel or brakes, competitors control the sled by subtly shifting their body weight and applying pressure with their shoulders or knees. Reaching speeds of over 80 miles per hour, skeleton is known for its intensity and the extreme proximity of the rider’s face to the ice."
