Permission Information you are here: home Snow Sports The History of Luge Imagine putting on a skin tight jump suit, a helmet on your head, strapping yourself to a 50 pound sled and hurling yourself down an icy slope. Nutricise Although the sport is sometimes thought of as being relatively new, sled racing is actually one of the oldest of all winter sports. The word luge comes from the French word for sled. In Germany the sport is known as rodel, and it is in the alpine countries of Europe that the sport began. References to sled racing first appeared in chronicles from Norway in 1480 and the Erz Mountain area in 1552. The first international luge race took place in 1883 with 21 competitors representing seven nations, including the United States. The race was organized by hotels in the Swiss resort of Davos and took place over the 4-kilometer (2.5 mile) road from St. Wolfgang to Klosters. At the turn of the century, luge was actually governed by the International Bobsled Federation, which administered all ice-track sports. In 1953 the sport gained its own international governing body with the formation of the Federation Internationale de Luge de course (FIL), and in 1964 luge was inaugurated as an Olympic sport at the IX Winter Olympic Games in Innsbruck, Austria.

25. History Of Luge represented. luge became an olympic sport in 1964 at Innsbruck, Austria.As the sport evolved it separated into two disciplines. http://www.wasatchluge.org/history.htm

Wasatch Luge Club What is Luge? Luge first originated in the Swiss Alps and was practiced on logging roads leading from the hills to the villages. Recreational sliding became organized in 1883 with the first international competition being held in Davos, Switzerland where seven nations were represented. Luge became an Olympic sport in 1964 at Innsbruck, Austria. As the sport evolved it separated into two disciplines. Kuntsbahn, which is German for Artificial Track, and is the present day Olympic Style which has high banked turns and speeds averaging 60-90 mph. The 2nd discipline, Naturbahn, German for Natural Track, retained the look of its origins. The turns are flat and the athlete uses more body movements which can be seen by most spectators. It is interesting to note that most of the terms and the language of this sport are German. Yet we, in the U.S. adopted the French word for sled, Luge. Luge in Utah? Established during the winter of 1995, the Wasatch Luge Club (WLC) was created in response to the growing interest and questions regarding the sport of luge in Utah. As a result of Salt Lake City's Olympic selection, a new Bobsled/Luge Run was constructed at the Bear Hollow site in Park City, now known as the Utah Olympic Park. The WLC acts as a point of first contact for anyone with a question about the sport of Luge, whether it ís only general curiosity or a true desire to be involved. The Wasatch Luge Club is the only sanctioned luge club by the United States Luge Association in this area. Our mission is to promote the sport of luge as a means of recreation for all ages, to act as a feeder to the National Team System, and to create a base of volunteers and officials to aid in the running of events. These events range from local club level races to the Olympics and beyond.

In 1932, the world focused it's attention on the picturesque village when it staged North America's first Winter Olympics. In 1980, the tradition continued as Lake Placid hosted the Games once again. Olympic history was made as the US Hockey Team stunned the world by defeating the powerful Russian team and continued on to win Gold. Today, the challenging slopes of Whiteface Mountain, ice skating, cross country skiing and quaint shops continue to draw thrillseekers and tourists alike during the winter months. The village recently added a new chapter in its already rich winter sports history when it hosted the first-ever Winter Goodwill Games. In preparation for the games, a brand-new, state-of-the-art luge track was constructed. Americans Mark Grimmette and Brian Martin christened the world's newest and longest luge track, winning Gold in the doubles event by a mere 5-thousandths of a second. The USA Luge Fantasy camp will give a few lucky participants an opportunity to slide down the same run where Grimmette and Martin achieved their glorious victory.

The soldier from Berchtesgaden in the Bavarian Alps became just the sixth Winter Olympian to win the same event three consecutive times. Hackl, who rattled his rivals on the first day of competition by trotting out a new pair of slick booties that allegedly gave him an aerodynamic edge he didn't need, got his 50-pound blue sled cranking quickly Monday. He was first out of the chute and continued his brilliant performance, finishing in 49.614 seconds. He followed that up with a final run of 49.630. In four runs over two days, he had a total of 3 minutes, 18.436 seconds. Armin Zoeggler of Italy won the silver in 3:18.939, and Jens Mueller of Germany was third in 3:19.093. Four years ago, Hackl roared back on the last run to edge Austria's Markus Prock by 13 thousandths of a second, the closest luge race in Olympic history. This time it was not even close.

Four years ago at Lillehammer, Georg Hackl beat Markus Prock by 13 thousandths of a second. This time, after nearly three miles of sliding, the difference was virtually indiscernible. The United States was shut out of a medal again and now is 0-for-87 in Olympic luge. But Erin Warren, of Winchester, Mass., provided a ray of hope for the future, if she continues in the sport. Warren, of Winchester, Mass., had the race of her life, finishing sixth in 3:25.328. It was a strong for the 26-year-old Warren, who has had a penchant for wrecking. Warren, who crashed on her first run in her Olympic debut at Lillehammer four years ago, also crashed here last year during the Olympic test event. But on the first run of competition, she raced into sixth place and stayed there the rest of the way. She was faster each time she went down the twisting, 14-turn Spiral track.

The German, attempting to win his fourth consecutive gold medal in luge, had his dream shattered by age and an Italian he had beaten in the last two games. A victory would have meant Olympic history for Hackl, who would have become the first man in the Winter Games to win the same event four times in a row. Only three athletes - Carl Lewis in the long jump, Al Oerter in the discus and Paul Elvstrom in sailing - have won four consecutive gold medals in an individual event.

About Us Location History/Legacy Sponsors/Partners ... Contact Us History / Legacy Originally known as the Utah Winter Sports Park, the facility was funded as part of the $59 million tax diversion approved by Utah taxpayers in 1989. The facility was a critical element in the Salt Lake Bid Committee's efforts to capture a future Olympic Winter Games. Construction of the Utah Olympic Park began in 1991 with the Park, ski jump facilities and freestyle aerials splash pool opening in 1993. The bobsled, skeleton and luge track became operational in 1997. In July 1999, ownership of the Utah Winter Sports Park transferred from the Utah Sports Authority to the Salt Lake Organizing Committee, and the venue became recognized as the Utah Olympic Park. The facility underwent a series of upgrades and renovations for the Games, including the construction of the K120 jump and reconfiguration of the K90. Additionally, the master plan included design of the venue's common areas, infrastructure, transportation system and entrances. The design and engineering phase of all projects was completed in September 1999 with construction completed in the fall 2000. General construction costs were $33 million for sliding track, $21 million for ski jumps, $6 million for infrastructure and $2.5 million for Day Lodge and pool. During the 2002 Olympic Winter Games, the venue welcomed more than 300,000 visitors during 16 days of competition. The Utah Olympic Park was the site of 14 events with three in ski jumping, three in nordic combined, three in bobsled, three in luge and two in skeleton.
