Applicants Sought For Naked Sledding World Championships



Have you ever fancied getting all your kit off (well almost all your kit off) and hurtling down a hill on a toboggan watched by some 25,000 people?

No? Can’t say I blame you.

Yes? Well next month you have a chance to make your dream come true by taking part in what must be the most eccentric alternative winter olympics event ever devised – the Naked Sledding World Championship, now being hosted for the fifth time.

The event takes place - surprise, surprise – in Germany, a country famed for its love of all activities that involve FKK – Freikörperkultur (Free Body Culture, or plain nudity to you and me), and will be staged on Saturday February 15 on the slopes above the spa town of Braunlage in the picturesque Harz Mountains.

If a body part sweats (or leaks after a sneeze), comes in contact with frozen surface, isn't it likely it'll stick? What about skidding on ice?

back in my active days, but I doubt anyone would want to watch me. (The reaction from human and animal alike would've been: )
