Other forms: luging; luged; luges
A luge is a small sled that's designed to go very fast. This is the type of sled you would ride in the Olympics, not in your neighborhood park.
A luge is a small toboggan made for one or two riders, and you ride it either sitting with your legs outstretched or lying down on your back. You steer a luge using your calves, by applying pressure to one side or another, and by rolling your shoulders from side to side. Luge racing is a competitive sport that's included in the Winter Olympics, and "to luge" means to speed down a snowy hill on a luge. The word luge comes from the Latin sludia, or "sled."
