The sport skeleton was named after when someone commented that a new metal sled, first used in 1892, resembled a skeleton.

Fantastic work Paris. Great information written in your own words and well organised. Very impressive. Good choice of graphics and transitions. Perhaps a background theme and some music would make it even better. Overall, a wonderful effort. 25/5/14
