Bobsleigh
Bobsleigh is a winter sport in which teams of two or four athletes make timed runs down narrow, twisting, banked, ice tracks in a gravity-powered sled. The sport requires a combination of speed, power, precision, and teamwork as competitors navigate the course at high speeds, experiencing forces of up to 5 g's. Bobsleigh sleds are aerodynamically designed and can reach speeds exceeding 80 miles per hour, making it one of the fastest sliding sports in the world.
