Following advice from the medical team 2009 World Champion Nicola Minichiello will no Supported By: T.A.S.S. Bobsleigh was invented by a group of English men on holiday in Switzerland in 1890. Their aim was to create a sled that could carry two or more people down a snow-covered road between St Moritz and Celerina. The new sport immediately caught on and a special track, complete with banked curves, made of ice, was constructed next to the road in 1902. The first races were for 5 and 6 people and a requirement of the competition was that each crew included at least one woman. This requirement was dropped in the 1930s and the disciplines altered to 2 and 4 man events. It has been part of the official programme since the First Olympic Winter Games in Chamonix, with the four-man and two-man events being added in 1932. Two-women Bobsleigh was a new event introduced in Salt Lake City 2002.
