bobsledding
Frozen track sport
Bobsledding is the winter sport of racing down an ice-covered track in a bobsled—a streamlined sled with runners, steering mechanism, and brakes.
Teams of two or four push the sled at the start, then jump in and hurtle down a twisting chute at high speeds.
She took up bobsledding after her track career ended.
