Plummeting down the icy track sitting or head first, bobsled & skeleton athletes rely on physics at high speeds. After the essential explosive running start, athletes depend on their quick reflexes to manage each corner and turn. Elite equipment, proper positioning in the grove, and immense focus and visualization are necessary to secure that spot on the podium with margins of split seconds. When we protect our crews and sliders, we keep this sport safe and healthy for all.
