Bobsleigh
Bobsleigh is team sport in which crews of either 2 of 4 people push and drive down an ice track with the fastest team making it to the finish line crowned the winners. At the start teams push the sled as fast as they can and then load into the bobsleigh in quick succession.it takes balance and agility to coordinate loading up to 4 powerful athletes into a sled whilst pushing at maximum velocity.
After the start the pilot takes over the steering and negotiates the bobsleigh through a sequence of tricky turns reaching speeds of up to 150 kmh. when the bobsleigh reaches the finish line, the brake person slows the sled down to a stop.
Skeleton
Skeleton which take place on the same track as the bobsleigh, starts with a single athlete pushing their sled one or two handed away from the start before diving onto the sled and descending the ice track.
Athletes lie down, head first with their chin only millimetres from the ice and arms at their sides, steering the skeleton with their shoulders, knees and toes.
Feeling is everything in skeleton and the smallest shift in bodyweight can separate the fastest lines from the being out of control. On a skeleton sled athletes can reach speeds of up to 150km/h (over 93mph) and acceleration as they push their sled from a standing start, with the first 50-metres typically covered in about five seconds while reaching speeds of over 40km/h.
