  • Bobsleigh CANADA Skeleton

    Bobsleigh CANADA Skeleton

    Bobsleigh Canada Skeleton Bobsleigh Canada Skeleton (BCS) is the national governing body for the sports of bobsleigh and skeleton in Canada and we’re here to create, nurture and support World and Olympic champions, period! BCS will lead our entire Canadian community in the pursuit of becoming and sustaining the mantle of the leading bobsleigh and skeleton nation in the world. BCS directly will endeavor to do this by focusing on four critical areas: programs, process, people and planning. These four areas will provide the cornerstones to all strategic directions and initiatives. A hallmark of the BCS future is that it will be recognized as a performance-based culture, with a supporting performance management mindset. History of the Sport Montrealers may have pointed toboggans downhill on the famous Tuque Bleue slide in the 1870s, but it was the Swiss who later attached a steering mechanism to the toboggan and gave birth to the sport of Bobsleigh. In 1897 the world's first Bobsleigh club was founded in St. Moritz, Switzerland. By 1914 more than 100 natural-ice courses of varying degrees of sophistication could be found at winter resorts throughout alpine Europe. Frequently Asked Questions Bobsleigh teams consist of a brakeman and a pilot in the two-man/women event and a brakeman, two crewmen and a pilot in the four-man. Bobsleigh athletes will travel at speeds near 150 km per hour with 5 G’s of force on some of the corners. Skeleton athletes will travel at speeds near 130 km per hour head first! Canadian Team Performance Although Bobsleigh was one of the original sports at the first Winter Olympic Games in 1924, it wasn't until the late 1950's that Canadian bobsledders began competing internationally.
