bobsledders
Winter track athletes
Bobsledders are athletes who compete in bobsled, a winter sport where teams race down icy tracks in streamlined sleds.
The sport requires explosive sprinting speed at the start, when crew members push the sled before jumping in, followed by precise steering through banked curves at high speeds.
The bobsledders trained year-round for their shot at Olympic gold.
