Once Again It Is Time To Talk About The Weird But Perfect Sport Of Double Luge

2 years ago 473

And that, comrades, is double luge.

Two teammates going down the track during a race

It's exactly like singles luge...

A single athlete on their back as they race

...except they added a guy on top of the other guy.

It's a multi-layer luge. Two pieces of bread, but not a sandwich.

And some might say...WHY?

Because it's an intimate sport.

It's kind of like public cuddling.

And logically, it makes no sense to me. Why add a person?

And if you're going to add people, why stop at two? WHY NOT THREE?

Hell, why not four?!

AND FUCK IT, while we're at it, GET A DOG ON THERE.

Wait, nevermind about the dog. I don't want it to get injured by the spikey fingers on their gloves.

So yeah, while I am confused by double luge, I also am here to defend it. Because it might just be...THE PERFECT SPORT.

First of all, it's always fun to have a buddy.

And when there are two people on the luge, sometimes it looks like the front person is a spider. That's fun.

The two of these people are in this together. Bonded by ice and spandex for life.

We will never understand them. And they will never understand us.

But I root for them, because sometimes you just want to lay flat on top of someone else and speed down a cold slide.

And they are LIVING OUT THAT DREAM!!!

So, I am here for double luge and all that it brings to the Olympics/the world.

NEVER STOP LUGING. NEVER STOP LAYERING HUMANS. Peace and love to all! Bye.
