No bones about it
Skeleton returns to the Olympics in Salt Lake City after a 54-year absence, and brings with a whole new set of daredevil athletes. Americans Jim Shea and Chris Soule will slide headfirst down an ice track on their stomachs, with their faces 3 inches from the track all for the sake of a gold medal. Tune in for primetime coverage at 8 p.m. ET on NBC because this you don't want to miss.
