Skeleton is one of the three sliding sports on the programme at the 2022 Winter Olympics, along with Bobsleigh and Luge.
There will only be six medals up for grabs making it the joint-fewest at the Beijing Games.
Skeleton will take place at the Yanqing National Sliding Centre, located in the Xiaohaituo mountain area.
It will only take place over two days from February 10 to February 12.
What are the rules for the Skeleton?
There will only be two events for Skeleton in the Men's Singles and Women's Singles.
On the Winter Olympics website it describes how the event will work: "In each event, athletes compete on the same track, with each rider getting four runs over the course of two days.
"Those four rides are timed down to the hundredth of a second and the times added together. The athlete with the fastest total time is the winner."
