Here’s at least one good reason to watch the skeleton competition at the PyeongChang Games: the helmets are pretty rad.
South Korean racer Yun Sung-Bin competed in Thursday’s event wearing a helmet in the theme of popular comic book and movie character Iron Man.

The awesome headgear display might actually have been Sung-Bin’s secret to success — at 50.28, he had the fastest time during the competition’s first run. He was far from the only one to show out in the helmet department though.

Now the only question is if these helmets top another great fashion statement we saw earlier in the day in PyeongChang.
