We’ve never thought that high speeds, snow and sensitive bits were good bed fellows. But it’s wonderful to be proved wrong. Fourteen thousand spectators crowded into a small town in the mountains of Germany to watch 15 women compete in a nearly nude sledging event. The official uniform consisted of boots, scarf, helmet and underpants. That, in our books, is what all official uniforms should consist of.
This just proves that Germans can be really awesome when they want to be. Screw the Olympics. Who needs them when you have sporting events where athletes’ training comes in the form of tanning beds and Brazilian waxes? This is a sport we can stand behind. The only part we’re confused about is why this is called sledging and not sledding.
Nude or topless cold weather sports usually bring out the exhibitionist in people that shouldn’t be exhibiting anything. But it looks like the German Sledging Officials had strict requirements for their competitors.
Oh yah, and there were some guys in it too.
