Men's Luge Odds
It will be either fast and furious or crash and burn for many athletes in the Men’s Luge when they compete at the 2010 Winter Olympics.
According to vancouver2010.com, in luge, racers begin by sitting on open fiberglass sleds. Pulling on fixed handles in the ice, they burst out of the start. After this explosive start, they use spiked gloves on the ice surface for extra acceleration before lying down on their backs, feet stretched out in front of them, heads back to be as aerodynamic as possible. Luge racers steer using their legs and shoulders, and brake by sitting up, putting their feet down and pulling up on the sled runners. The singles events consist of four heats over two days. The individual with the lowest combined time over the four runs wins.
The two-time defending Olympic champion, Armin Zoggeler, is favored to win his-third gold medal.
Zoggeler has odds of even to win the gold medal in this event according to online sports book SPORTSBETTING.com. Other short odds to win are Albert Demtschenko (9/4), David Moller (19/4), and Felix Loch (7/1).
