The practical use of sleds is ancient and widespread.
The first recorded sled races took place in Norway sometime during the 15th century.
The sport of luge, like the skeleton and the bobsleigh, originated in the health-spa town of St Moritz, Switzerland, in the mid-to-late 19th century, through the endeavours of hotel entrepreneur Caspar Badrutt.
Badrutt successfully sold the idea of winter resorting, as well as rooms with food, drink, and activities.
His more adventurous English guests began adapting delivery boys' sleds for recreation, which led to collisions with pedestrians as they sped down the lanes and alleys of the village.
The first organized meeting of the sport took place in 1883 in Switzerland.
In 1913, the Internationale Schlittensportverband or International Sled Sports Federation was founded in Dresden, Germany.
This body governed the sport until 1935, when it was incorporated in the Fédération Internationale de Bobsleigh et de Tobogganing (FIBT, International Bobsleigh and Tobogganing Federation).
After it had been decided that luge would replace the sport of skeleton at the Olympic Games, the first World Championships in the sport were held in 1955 in Oslo (Norway).
In 1957, the Fédération Internationale de Luge de Course (FIL, International Luge Federation) was founded.
Luge events were first included in the Olympic Winter Games in 1964.
Americans were slow to adopt the sport of luge.
The first luge run in North America was built at Lolo Hot Springs, Montana in 1965.
Although the United States competed in every Olympic luge event from 1964 through 1976, it was not until 1979 that the United States Luge Association was founded.
The first artificial American track was completed in that year for use in the 1980 XIII Winter Olympic Games at Lake Placid, New York.
Since that time the United States luge program has greatly improved.
A second artificial track was constructed near Park City, Utah for the 2002 XIX Olympic Winter Games at Salt Lake City. 
Croatia's Daria Obratov was the first reserve in women's luge.
Croatia has never competed in an Olympic luge event. 
Sweden and Norway recorded some early Kicksled Races during the 15th century.
The modern sport of sledding (Luge - Skeleton and Bobsledding) originated in St. Moritz, Switzerland in the mid-to-late 19th century when vacationing guests adapted delivery sleds for recreational purposes and from there, it quickly spread to Davos and other Swiss towns and villages.
Modern competitive sledding started in 1883 in Davos, Switzerland.
An Australian student named George Robertson won what is reputed to be the world’s first international sled race.
He outraced 19 other competitors from England, Germany, the Netherlands, Sweden, Switzerland and the United States on a four kilometre stretch of road from St. Wolfgang to the town of Klosters.
Soon the Bobsleigh, Luge, and Skeleton were developed in succession.
By mid-decade, Kulm Hotel owner Caspar Badrutt had the first run or course purpose built for the fledgling sport.
The opening of formal competition for Luge was in 1883 and for Bobsleds in 1884 at St. Moritz.
in 1926, the International Olympic Committee declared bobsleigh and skeleton as Olympic sports and adopted the rules of the St. Moritz run as the officially recognized Olympic rules.
It was not until 2002, however, that skeleton itself was added permanently to the Olympic program with the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City, Utah.
There are three Olympic sledding competitions.
Bobsled: Men's two and four-crew, Women's 2 crew.
Luge: Men's singles, Men's doubles, Women's singles (Team Relay - Olympic discipline starting in 2014).

Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City, USA  
Duncan Kennedy (born December 20, 1967) is an American luger who competed from 1979 to 1997.
He is best known for being the first American to win a Luge World Cup event when he won at the Sigulda track in November 1991 in the Latvia.
Kennedy's best overall finish in the Luge World Cup was second twice, earning them in 1991-2 and 1993-4.
Competing in three Winter Olympics, Kennedy earned his best finish of tenth in the men's singles event at Albertville in 1992.
After retiring from competitive luge due to bleeding around the brain stem, Kennedy became a development coach for USA Luge, a position he still holds as of 2008.
He was named a coach of the year for USA Luge in 2002.
During the 2002, 2006, 2010 and 2014 Winter Olympics Kennedy served as a television commentator for the luge competitions for NBC Sports in the United States. 
Constructed in 1930 for the 1932 Winter Olympics, the track was the first bobsleigh track located outside of Europe.
In 1949, it hosted the FIBT World Championships, also the first outside of Europe.
The original bobsleigh track was demolished in 1978 to pave the way for an artificial track for the 1980 Winter Olympics with a separate luge track being constructed for those same games.
The luge track was the first luge track in North America when it was completed in 1979.
In 1983, the luge track was the first venue to host the FIL World Luge Championships outside of Europe.
Both tracks were demolished in the late 1990s and a combination track was constructed in early 2000 in time for the only Winter Goodwill Games.
The track is a regular venue for World Cup competitions in bobsleigh, luge, and skeleton.
In 2009, the track will become the first combination track to host the bobsleigh, luge, and skeleton world championships in a non-Winter Olympic year.
The current track is 1455 meters long with 20 curves and an average grade of 9.8%.
