It is now the first day of December and winter is rapidly approaching (at least for those of us in the North). Help us celebrate the frigid months with our tribute to legendary sledders. Sledding is the basis of three Olympic events, as well as an international dog race known as the Iditarod.
This month we are featuring 40 legendary sledders from around the world including Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Belgium, England, Scotland, Italy, Norway, and the United States. Most are Olympic champions in bobsledding, the luge, or skeleton sledding. Five are Iditarod winners. They may not be household names, but they are considered sledding royalty and their individual stories are quite often fascinating.
Remember, no contribution is ever too small, so jump in wherever you think you'll have the most fun. If you enjoy research, work on making connections and increasing CC7s. If you enjoy storytelling, how about taking the research of your fellow members and turning it into an entertaining narrative. We can also use help with properly formatting sources, hunting down copyright-free images, and even simple proofreading. Just remember to keep us posted on your accomplishments here on our G2G thread, so we can all share in your successes.
