Skeleton (俯视冰梭), however, stands apart as one of the most difficult and least accessible of all the winter sports. Adam Edelman, Israels first Olympic skeleton athlete, would like to change that.Edelman was the 10th athlete named to the 2018 Israeli Olympic Team. Qualifying for the Olympics in any sport is impressive. But its more impressive if you qualify for the Olympics after only four years in the sport and without a coach.Edelman was first introduced to skeleton watching the game on television in late 2013. Sports have always been a part of his life. He grew up playing football and was a goalkeeper on the Massachusetts Institute of Technology football team. Ready for a new challenge, he set his sights on the Olympics.Without a coach, Edelman learned to drive by watching endless hours of YouTube videos and taking more runs than anybody else on the track. “When everybody else would take three runs per day, I would take six to eight.” he recalled.Succeeding in skeleton takes a large amount of athletic ability and technical skill, but theres one more element (因素) required, one that cant be taught. “These tracks but built in the middle of nowhere, and its gray and cold. You havent seen your family in seven months and you really just want to give up. To continue, it takes tenacity.” Edelman said.Edelman is already looking beyond Pyeongchang. The 2022 Olympics could be in his future, but whether he continues to compete or not, he promises to stay in Israeli sports as long as possible-as instructor or as a coach.1、What might impress people most?AEdelmans gift in winter sports.BThe challenges Edelman has met.CEdelman entering for the Olympics.DEdelmans successful story as a skeleton athlete.2、Which word can be used to describe Edelman?AModest.
