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 in various countries, especially during the Winter Olympics. In bobsledding, athletes work together to push the sled at the start and then jump in as it speeds down the track. The goal is to navigate the course as quickly as possible while maintaining control. The sport requires teamwork, precision, and a strong understanding of the track's layout.
