Bobsled is a winter sport where teams of two or four make timed runs down narrow, twisting, banked, and icy tracks in a small, sled-like vehicle. The bobsled is designed for speed and aerodynamics, allowing athletes to navigate sharp turns and steep drops.
The sport originated in Switzerland in the late 19th century and has since become a popular event in the Winter Olympics. Competitors push the sled at the start, jump in, and then steer using their body weight. Bobsledding requires teamwork, precision, and quick reflexes to achieve the fastest times.
