I think "Hold my beer and watch this!" should be the motto for quite a few of the Winter Olympics sports.

Before you say, Well that guy is just a moron with a death-wish! I will tell you, he may be exactly that. But he's also the first USA luger to win a medal in the singles luge at the Winter Olympics. That's Chris Mazdzer, winner of the 2018 Silver.
Skeleton is the sport they came up with because luge was far too sedate and safe. Not only do you have even less hardware between you and the ice, but you go headfirst.

Finally, a heavy metal fan takes to the figure skating ice and forces that extremely stodgy world to deal with AC/DC. I wanted to embed a video here but NBC has it on insane lockdown, but you can click through for a video at Metal Injection.
