It was first introduced in 1928 at the Olympic Games in St. Moritz . In the two subsequent Olympiads in 1932 and 1936, skeleton competitions were not held. In 1948, the skeleton returned to the “White” Olympiad again in St. Moritz, because at that time there was the only track for the skeleton. After that, the skeleton was not represented at the Olympics until 2002 in Salt Lake City , when the skeleton returned to the program, after which it was present in all subsequent games. In the same 2002 were included in the skeleton competition for women.
