IN PICTURES: Those Skeleton guys have some pretty funky helmets

The helmet art being sported by some of the Skeleton competitors - including Ireland's Sean Greenwood - is pretty amazing.

The skeleton events at the 2014 Sochi Olympics don't kick off until Thursday (with four runs over two days for both men and women) but competitors have already been making headlines this week as they train at the Sliding Centre Sanki in Krasnaya Polyana.

What's been drawing most attention is the intricate and amazing helmet art being sported by some of the competitors.
