Queens Resident Slides In Skeleton

WNYC News | Jul 12, 2010
After a 54 year ban, skeleton racing is being reintroduced into the Winter Olympics. It was originally taken out of the games because officials thought shooting down a bobsled track face-first, on a sled, was too dangerous. But now it's back, and the first qualifying runs will be held later today at the Utah Olympic Park. Queen's resident Michael Voudouris is scheduled to slide today....as a member of the Greek team. WNYC's Signy Peck has more.
