Bobsleigh IBSF World Cup 2018 - 2019

This might be the only time I’m disapointed to see Canada win a bobsleigh race.

 

Shockingly it’s the first time Canada has won a four man race in Lake Placid.

What the hell. That dude could have been killed if it weren't for someone screaming his lungs out and yelling "GET OUT OF THE TRACK"

Same situation was at one of german tracks (can't remember which one) at this season Luge WC. I don't know what is going on with this workers this days...

Still, if I'd have to choose, I'd rather be hit by a luger than a 100+ km/h four-man sled

For those who want to know what the fuzz is about, 1:10.55 for Rinaldi's run

Well,  the sled obviously crashed, and then somehow flipped back. It's understandable why the worker was out there, but I guess someone should have screamed earlier.

Well, I don't know about that. Be killed and don't fill anything or break legs and ride a wheelchair to the rest of life  Remember that luger also rides more than 100 km/h, there are even faster than bobsleighs

 Heinrich 2nd! What a result! When was the last time when French was in top 3? And this second run of Lochner, what a poor start. I hoped that finally somebody will win with Friedrich in two-men.

 

 

Two man bobsleigh wize, that may very well be the best french performance ever.

 

Mingeon did won a few world cups but that was in four man bobsleigh.

Something similar also happened during training ahead of the Sochi Olympics, where a track worker was hit by a bobsleigh that was going at 80 km/h. The track worker got compound fractures to both his legs and a concussion. The Monaco sleight was going at 122 km/h when it nearly hit the track worker...
