Every four years, there’s extra interest in the sport of sliding down an ice hill on a metal sled at the Upper Peninsula Luge Club. That’s because every four years, the Winter Olympics return.
"I always watch the Olympics… [I have] since I was a little kid,” said Toby Kuznicki, who brought his family to an event at the Negaunee, Mich., luge club.
“So I try and carry that on with my kids."
The hill in Negaunee is a natural luge; the walls are wooden, instead of the ice walls seen at Olympic luge events.
"It's just a fun activity, and another sport in the Upper Peninsula,” said club president Fred Anderson.
"We need to train more people because this [natural luge] style may become an Olympic sport in four years."
