Bobsleigh

BECOME A BETTER ATHLETE

To be a good sledder, you need to be strong and fast. It’s not just the start of the race this is important. Your body needs to be able to handle the strain during the entire race.

60 SECONDS OF ADRENALINE

During a 60-second race, a sleigh can go up to 100 miles per hour. Modern bobsleigh tracks should be at least approximately 5000 feet long and consist of at least 15 curves.

GOOD LIFTING TECHNIQUE

A two-person sleigh weighs at least 350 pounds, and a four-person sleigh at least about 460 pounds, excluding the crew. The sleigh needs to be transported to and from the track, and so it is important to learn good lifting technique from a young age to prevent back pain.
