Bobsledding 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 called a bobsled. The sport originated in Switzerland in the late 19th century and has since become popular worldwide, especially in countries with cold climates. Competitors push the bobsled for a short distance before jumping in and navigating the course at high speeds. The goal is to complete the track in the shortest time possible. Bobsledding is featured in the Winter Olympics, showcasing the skill and teamwork required for success.
