lugers
Feet-first winter racers
Lugers are athletes who compete in luge, a winter sport where competitors lie face-up on a small sled and race down an ice track at high speeds.
The singular is luger: German lugers dominated the Olympic podium.
The word comes from the sport's name, itself from a French word for sled.
