/luːʒ//luːʒ/

The word "luge" originated from the German language and is derived from the verb "schlüpfen," meaning "to slide." In the sport of luge, athletes slide down an icy track on a small sled called a luge, which is specifically designed for this purpose. The sport of luge gained popularity in Germany in the late 19th century, and the first official luge competition was held in Oberhof, Germany, in 1883. The sport made its debut at the Winter Olympics in the 1964 Games in Innsbruck, Austria, and has since become a major winter sport. The International Luge Federation (FIL) governs the sport and organizes international competitions and championships, including the Luge World Cup and the Luge World Championships. The luge event in the Winter Olympics includes both singles and doubles competitions, and athletes compete on tracks with speeds exceeding 130 kilometers per hour.
