Swiss skiers' alternative games goes viral

PYEONGCHANG, South Korea (Reuters) - What do you do with your downtime at the Pyeongchang winter games? Ask a Swiss skier.





Videos of athletes hanging onto an escalator and using a trolley as a makeshift bobsleigh have gone viral since they were uploaded to the Swiss ski team's Instagram account.

In one video, a team member hangs onto the wrong side of the escalator as it climbs upward.

"After 20 years I still couldn't figure out how these things work! Am I doing it right?", skier Fabian Bösch said in a caption posted with the video.
