In Luge Land, German Women Rule email this story to a friend. FEATURES, ARTS LEISURE. In luge land, Germanwomen rule. By Noel C. Paul Staff writer of The Christian Science Monitor. http://csmweb2.emcweb.com/durable/2001/02/23/p18s1.htm
Extractions: Staff writer of The Christian Science Monitor LAKE PLACID, N.Y. Silke Kraushaar can lay claim to being the fastest woman on sled rails. Last week she won the women's World Cup in luge (sledding) at Lake Placid, N.Y., for the second time in three years. She is the reigning Olympic champion in the sport. In Germany, where winter sports are more a sacred rite than a pastime, she is a national celebrity. From top to bottom, Germany's women's luge team is perhaps the most dominant collection of amateur athletes in the world. If Kraushaar were to fail, seven of her colleagues might easily take her place atop the podium. Each year, about 12 women compete for Germany's four World Cup positions. Those cut from the team are often faster than the top performers from other competitive countries like Austria, Canada, and Norway. Case in point: In 1999, Sonja Wiedemann outpaced her teammates to claim gold at the world championships after failing to qualify for the World Cup earlier that season. Kraushaar herself had ridden the bench until a year before her 1998 Olympic debut at Nagano, Japan.
About_The_Sport-SLSG There is also some controversy as to whether the real name of the sport is Dry Landluge, Road luge, or Street luge. I suppose it depends when you started http://www.gravitypublishing.com/about_the_book-slsg.htm
Extractions: (Note: This content has been provided as a sample only and is formatted for your browser. The actual look of the printed manuscript is different.) About the Book Most of my terminology comes from what is commonly used among the people with whom I've raced. "Get all of the riders into the truck, and throw their boards in the back." I like the sound of "luge pilot" but it's still trying to find its way into the vernacular. I have it on my business card and sometimes people chuckle. But I certainly prefer "pilot" to calling ourselves "a bunch of lugers." "Luge" itself is a noun and a verb so I tend to alternate between "luge" and "board" when discussing what we ride. I might think "lean-steer gravity platform" sounds more high tech than "board." But then I'd start substituting "urethane based rolling units" for skateboard wheels and everyone would get confused. When it comes to common usage - pilots fly airplanes; we ride boards. It's not that terminology which distances us from skateboarding is bad. It's just awkward forcing it throughout the book. There is also some controversy as to whether the real name of the sport is "Dry Land Luge," "Road Luge," or "Street Luge." I suppose it depends when you started. All three terms are still in use and can distinguish subtleties in the sport.
