As anyone who follows Skeleton knows, anything can happen in the last two heats. It's a dangerous daredevil sport and at this point it's still anyone's guess who will take Gold, Silver and Bronze for the men and women. Don't forget this is also the same track as the luge events; reported to be the fastest in the world, and where Georgian Luger Nodar Kumaritashvili tragically lost his life the day of the Opening Ceremonies.
