Plenty of sports at the Winter Olympics aren't necessarily the easiest to get your head around.
Curling comes to mind but fans are particularly puzzled by doubles luge.

It sees one team member lie on top of the other as they sail down the course on a sled.
It's like a much more extreme version of tobogganing.
The sport brings with it so many questions.
Why would you choose doubles over singles luge when it looks so uncomfortable?
How do you decide who's on top and who's on the bottom?
Plenty of Olympic enthusiasts don't know the answer to those questions.
"When you watch an entire run in doubles luge, the whole sport just starts to look ridiculous," Michael Baumann wrote for The Ringer.
"The biggest reason doubles luge looks weird is the number of contrivances — from the straps to the non-verbal communication to the specialised sled — required to get two men down an icy chute at highway speeds. It all seems unnecessary, particularly when there's a much more comfortable and dignified multi-passenger sled available: the bobsled.
"Doubles luge is the Facebook redesign of sliding sports: There was something that people loved, and then the powers that be just made it weirder and less functional. There are enough doubles lugers to put together a field for an Olympic race — that's proof of the lengths people will go for a shot at Olympic glory."
Baumann also tweeted that doubles luge is the "weirdest f***ing thing".
Aussie radio icons Amanda Keller and Brendan Jones discussed how bizarre the event is and when Jones described everything, he asked Keller what she'd say if he proposed the two form a team.
"I say I'm going to have you arrested," Keller joked.
