21．（6分）Winter sports tend to be more dangerous than summer sports — they take place mostly outside at the
mercy of ice or snow, involving (牵涉) metal edges, extreme speeds and crashes. Skeleton (俯视冰梭), however, stands apart as one of the most difficult and least accessible of all the winter sports. Adam Edelman, Israel’s first Olympic skeleton athlete, would like to change that.

Without a coach, Edelman learned to drive by watching endless hours of YouTube videos and taking more runs than anybody el on the track. “When everybody el would take three runs per day, I would take six to eight.” he recalled.pooper
Succeeding in skeleton takes a large amount of athletic ability and technical skill, but there’s one more element (因素) required, one that can’t be taught. “The tracks but built in the middle of nowhere, and it’s gray and cold. You haven’t en your family in ven months and you really just want to give up. To continue, it takes tenacity.” Edelman said.
Edelman is already looking beyond Pyeongchang. The 2023 Olympics could be in his future, but whether he continues to compete or not, he promis to stay in Israeli sports as long as possible-as instructor or as a coach.
