About Bobsleigh
Bobsleigh has featured at every Winter Olympics (save one - Squaw Valley 1960), this sport is an iconic part of the Games. It is one of the three sliding sports on the programme, alongside the skeleton and luge.
A fun winter sport invented by the Swiss: a narrow, winding track carved into the ice, a high-tech sled and a race against time. The athletes must have nerves of steel.
