Who invented "two man" luge?

I can understand how luge and skeleton were invented. A bunch of drunk guys were probably hanging out at the top of a bobsled run and one of them said, "I bet I can get on this little tiny sled with no protection whatsoever and slide down this bobsled run faster than you can!"

The first guy did it feet first on his back (luge) and the next guy said, "Oh yea? Watch this!" and he did it face first on his belly (skeleton).

What I want to know is who is the guy who said, "Wait! I got a great idea! This will be so much fun! You get on the sled on your back and I'll lay down on top of you!" (two man luge).

Not only do those guys (and girls) have an interesting relationship, they are also kinda crazy.

In curling news, the US men's won their first round robin match again Czechia (or is it Czechnia?) this afternoon.

Tomorrow is the start of the women's round robin when the US takes on Korea. That will air at 9:15am on USA. The US men round continues when they take on Sweden. That will air at 5:00pm on CNBC

In other Olympic news, the US has moved up to third place in the medal count:
