Bobsleigh

Bobsleigh sports involve gliding down an ice-covered track in a gravity-powered sled. The two main disciplines are bobsleigh and skeleton, which are differentiated by the type of sled used, as well as the position of the slider.

Bobsleigh sports require strength, agility, and technique, making them highly competitive and physically demanding activities.

Two-man Bobsleigh

• Fast-Paced Racing: The event involves two athletes, a pilot and a brakeman. The pilot steers the sled down a banked, icy track while the brakeman applies the brakes at the finish.

Four-man Bobsleigh

• Team Navigation: This event involves a team of four athletes. The pilot steers the sled, with the help of the team's leaning and shifting weight to navigate turns.

Skeleton

• Individual Racing: This discipline involves a single athlete who rides a small sled down the track, head first.

Monobob

• Single-operator Racing: In this discipline, a single athlete pilots a one-man bobsleigh, responsible for both steering and braking.

Para Bobsleigh

• Adaptive Racing: It is for athletes with physical impairments. Athletes use specially adapted sleds and race individually down the bobsleigh track.

• Bobsleigh sports are part of the Winter Olympic Games, with events in both bobsleigh and skeleton disciplines.
• There are also world championships organized by the International Bobsleigh and Skeleton Federation (IBSF) for various disciplines.
