Original Toronto Star caption: Lying down on the job. Ontario Luge Association president Kurt Herzog and Paul Brown; 8; go for a run on the luge with wheels during Harbourfront's weekend salute to Canadian and Olympic Sport. Luge is a winter Olympic sport -- but without wheels. The wheel-less luge uses a slippery ice track.
