Bobsleigh
Olympic team winter sport
Bobsled or bobsleigh is a team sport played during the Winter Olympic Games. It is played by riding on iced tracks with a sled. Modern tracks are made of concrete, coated with ice. Artificial bobsleigh tracks are also available.
International bobsled competitions are governed by the Fédération Internationale de Bobsleigh et de Tobogganing (FIBT).[1]
The first bobsleds were built in St. Moritz, Switzerland, in the late 19th century by rich tourists from Britain who were staying at the Palace Hotel owned by Caspar Badrutt.
