With just three days until the opening ceremonies of the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, today's cookie celebrates the skeleton. It is a fast winter sliding sport in which an individual rides a small sled down a frozen track while lying face down. Athletes can experience forces up to 5g! Equipment includes helmets with a chin guard, a skin-tight racing speedsuit, spiked shoes, goggles and the sled. At the Olympics, the events will be held at the Sliding Center Sanki near Krasnaya Polyana, Russia. The events will be held from February 13-15.
