Iron Man and Joker make an appearance at the Winter Olympics 2022

As the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics are going on with full force. All the nations and their athletes want to stand out from the others in their attempt to bring their country glory.

Along with their fiery performances on the ice at the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics, skeleton racers have also grabbed attention with their uber-cool helmets.

From superheroes to intricate artwork, the skeleton helmets have featured some interesting designs at the Winter Games.

South Korea’s Yun Sungbin, who won gold at Pyeongchang 2018, was seen sliding down the slopes in his trademark Iron Man helmet at the Yanqing National Sliding Centre.

The Joker, from Batman comics, also made an appearance on the helmet of Amedeo Bagnis of Italy, while USA’s Katie Uhlaender took inspiration from the national bird of her nation – the American Bald Eagle.

Meanwhile, American Samoa’s Nathan Crumpton had a beautifully designed skull crafted on his helmet.

Skeleton athletes zip around the ice circuit head-first on a sled at speeds of over 130kmph. Helmets are their only safety gear.

A total of 50 athletes – 25 men and 25 women – are competing in skeleton at Beijing 2022.

Yun Sungbin defends the men’s title while we will have a new women’s champion as two-time Olympic gold medallist Great Britain’s Lizzy Yarnold retired after Pyeongchang 2018.
