Bobsled 5

Bobsled 5

Four descents are made by each team and the lowest total time wins the competition. Times are measured in hundredths of a second. When bob sledding first began the participants would jerk their bodies back and forth to increase speed. This motion, from which the name of the sport arose, made the participants look like they were bobbing. This motion did not seem effective and it was discontinued. Back to Bobsled. [BM] {ED}
