It's been 18 years since the Jamaican bobsled team made its debut at the Olympics. Immortalized in the Disney movie Cool Runnings , the team has finished 29th, 34th, 14th, 21st, and 28th. An offspring of tobogganing, the modern-day sport of bobsledding was conceived in Switzerland late in the 1800s. Each nation may enter a maximum of two sleds in each event. The sleds are made of fiberglass and must adhere to strict size and weight restrictions. A driver steers the sled by pulling one rope with his right hand to go right or a separate rope with his left hand to go left. The second member of the two-person team is the brakeman. Always the last person in the sled, he or she pulls up on the brake, lowering a piece of metal into the ice to stop the sled after the run. To round out a four-man team a pair of pushers are added. They are responsible for helping to get the sled started.

Extractions: 2006 - 1st Annual Chevrolet Geoff Bodine Bobsled Challenge BMW to support USA Bobsled and Skeleton Federation: Bodine's bobsled wins GOLD: The United States Olympic drought that lasted over several generations of bobsledders and at least one lifetime ended Sunday afternoon when driver Steve Holcomb drove his Bo-Dyn four man crew to a gold medal at the Whistler Sliding Center. It marked the first four-man gold medal since the Winter Games of 1948. Helped by track records in the opening two heats on Saturday, Holcomb, with crew members Justin Olsen, Steve Mesler and Curt Tomasevicz on the brakes came to the 16-turn track Sunday with a .4 of a second lead over Canada’s Lyndon Rush and .44 ahead of German icon Andre Lange. Holcomb, in the Bo-Dyn Night Train bobsled that captured the world championship one year ago, extended the advantage to .45 with the best third run. With no troubles on the fast and treacherous course, the Night Train safely negotiated its way to the third best final leg and wound up defeating Lange by .38 of a second. Rush, second through the first three runs, was overtaken by Lange in the finale and placed another .01 behind and in the bronze medal position.

Bobsled events at the Vancouver Games begin on Feb. 20, 2010 with two days of two-man competition, followed by the women's event (two-women sleds) Feb. 23 and 24. Competition concludes Feb. 26-27 with the four-man event. In each of the three disciplines, four heats are held over two days and timed to the hundredth of a second. The gold medal is awarded to the sled with the lowest combined time over four runs. Olympic bobsled events, along with those in skeleton and luge, will take place at Whistler Sliding Centre. Located on Blackcomb Mountain, the 4,757-foot track was completed in December 2007 after two-and-a-half years of construction at a cost of about $105 million. It is the 15 th international event sliding track in the world and just the fourth in North America - previous Olympic host cities Lake Placid, Calgary and Salt Lake City (Park City) are home to the others. With a vertical drop of about 500 feet, the Whistler track is now the world's steepest.
