對于即將來臨的都靈冬奧會，各項冰上運動屆時可讓體育愛好者大飽眼福，skeleton（俯式冰撬）項目是冬奧會熱門看點之一。
請看冬奧會官方網(wǎng)站上的介紹： Considered the world's first sliding sport,
skeleton was started in the
Swiss town of St. Moritz in the late 1800s. The first competition was held
in 1884.It wasn't until 1887 that riders began competing in the prone
position used today. The sport received its name in 1892, when a new sled
made mostly of metal was introduced. People thought it looked like a
skeleton.
俯式冰撬最早流傳于北歐。它是以雪橇為工具，借助起滑的慣性，從山坡沿專門構(gòu)筑的冰道快速滑降的一種運動項目。比賽中，運動員采用俯臥姿勢，頭部在前，以皮靴防滑釘控制運動方向。冰橇運動的開始過程與雪橇運動相同。句中說，因為運動員的裝束與狀態(tài)像一架骷髏，此項體育競賽于1892年正式命名為skeleton。
