bobsleds
Winter Olympic vehicles
Bobsleds are racing sleds designed to carry two or four people down an ice-covered track at high speeds.
The sled has a streamlined body, runners, and a steering mechanism.
The sport derives its name from early racers who bobbed their heads to gain speed.
As a verb, to bobsled is to ride or race in one: We went bobsledding in Switzerland.
