bobsledder
Frozen track athlete
A bobsledder is someone who rides in a bobsled—the enclosed sled that races down an icy track at high speeds.
The term covers both recreational participants and competitive athletes in the Olympic sport: The bobsledders crouched low as they hurtled through the final curve.
