India's Luge Athlete Sped Down A Himalayan Highway To Train For The Olympics

    This is just crazy.

    Meet Shiva Keshavan, a 31-year-old luge athlete who is India's best hope for a medal at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi.

    This is Keshavan's fifth time at the Olympics.

    Keshavan, who was born in a small village in the Himalayas, was inspired by luge videos and the movie Cool Runnings as a teenager.

    India has no luge tracks to practice on so Keshavan decided to use the Himalayan highway as his training track, reported Time.com.

    He maneuvered himself around cars zipping up and down the highway.

    He dodged a flock of sheep.

    He sped under a huge stationary truck in the middle of the road.
