Real Life: WTF Doubles Luge???

[waltzmatildah]

Umm, excuse me...

*raises hand politely*

Can someone from the northern hemisphere PLEASE explain the existence of DOUBLES LUGE to me?

Because I. Do. Not. Understand.

Thanks, bai.

P.S. If Scott James is not the cutest, little Olympian ever then... I dunno who is! The kid is gonna be a superstar!
