Around 40,000 fans attended the races at the World Championships here in 2011, for example. The German bobsleigh and skeleton athletes will start the third World Cup on home ground with thirteen podium places collected during the first two race weekends of the season. The team from Germany fought a gripping duel with the teams from Latvia and Russia in both Altenberg and Winterberg, with World Champion Francesco Friedrich of Germany coming only slightly ahead of defending titleholder Oskars Melbardis of Latvia in the first two two-man bobsleigh races. Skeleton slider Martins Dukurs of Latvia, who won the 2015 World Championships and headed the last six overall World Cup rankings, faces strong competition from Olympic Champion Alexander Tretyakov of Russia, who came second and third the last two weekends, and Axel Jungk of Germany. While Dukurs could well celebrate his fortieth World Cup victory in Königssee, Jungk, who came third in the World Cup standings last winter, made a long awaited first podium appearance in Winterberg last weekend.

  • 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.

  • PRESS INFORMATION BMW IBSF World Championships Bob + Skeleton Whistler (RWH) Olympic Champion in 2-Man Bobsleigh, Germany's F
    PRESS INFORMATION BMW IBSF World Championships Bob + Skeleton With fifth World Championship title, Olympic Champion Friedrich equals Montis' record Local hero Justin Kripps secures bobsleigh silver in Whistler ahead of Nico Walther Whistler (RWH) Olympic Champion in 2-man bobsleigh, Germany's Francesco Friedrich, has scored his fifth consecutive World Championship title at the BMW IBSF World Championships in Whistler (CAN) and with it, achieved an almost 60-year old record in the world of bobsleigh. Previously the only bobsleigh pilot to perform such an achievement, the legendary Eugenio Monti (ITA) won five consecutive World Championships in 2-man bobsleigh between 1957 and 1961. However, by securing gold at the World Championships in Whistler (CAN) and with his previous titles from 2013, 2015, 2016 and 2017, Friedrich has drawn level. Overall, Monti still has two more 2-man bobsleigh titles under his belt: The Italian was also named World Champion in 1963 and 1966. With pusher Thorsten Margis, Friedrich finished in Whistler with a 0.59 lead over Canadian local hero Justin Kripps and teammate Ben Coakwell, Kripps having taken home silver at the 2017 World Championships. In 2018, the two pilots tied for Olympic gold in PyeongChang. Nico Walther and Paul Krenz (GER, 0.89 seconds behind) secured bronze at the BMW IBSF World Championships in Whistler. Holding seventh place following the first of four races at the World Championships, Chris Spring and Neville Wright (CAN) were on a mission to move up in the results table and eventually finished in fourth place, narrowly missing out on a medal.

  • Platz Sieben Für Alexander Mann Im Viererbob in Whistler
    Pressemitteilung der Sportschule Fürstenfeldbruck-Puch GmbH 28.02.2010 Platz sieben für Alexander Mann im Viererbob in Whistler Erfolgreiches Olympiadebüt eines jungenTeams – André Lange holt Silber Olympia ist der große Traum eines jeden Athleten – für viele Bobfahrer aber wurde die Bahn in Whistler zum Verhängnis. Sechs Stürze in den ersten beiden Läufen sind ein nahezu unglaubliches Ergebnis, das den Bundestrainer der Damen dazu veranlasste, in der ARD nach dem ersten Tag für einen Abbruch des Wettkampfes zu plädieren, denn er sorgte sich um die deutschen Fahrer. „Das Rennen avanciert zur Farce“, sagt er. In der gefährlichen Kurve 13, „Fifty-Fifty“ genannt, stürzten auch erfahrene Weltklassepiloten und Medaillenkandidaten wie der Russe Alexandr Zubkov mit seinem Viererbob. Die Bahn in Whistler verzeihe keine Fehler, hatte Medizinstudent und Coach der Sportschule Fürstenfeldbruck-Puch, Alexander Mann, nach den Trainingsläufen gesagt und damit Recht behalten: bereits ein paar Hundertstel Zeitverlust am Start und kleine Bandenberührungen oder eine nicht hundertprozentig ideale Linie gerade in den Kurven elf bis dreizehn sorgen für einen zu hohen Zeitverlust und entscheiden über die Medaillen. Als das Quartett mit Karl Angerer, Alexander Mann, Andreas Bredau und Gregor Bermbach nach vier Läufen heil im Ziel ankam, jubelten alle und waren zufrieden – sie hatten eine konstante und souveräne Leistung gezeigt, auf einer unkalkulierbaren Bahn und unter nicht ganz idealen personellen Voraussetzungen. Denn im Bob von Karl Angerer (WSV Königssee) sollte eigentlich Alexander Rödiger aus dem Team von André Lange auf Position zwei sitzen, Alexander Mann hätte statt Andreas Bredau auf Position drei anschieben sollen. Doch bei Langes Stammanschieber René Hoppe trat eine alte Muskelverletzung in der Wade erneut auf, so dass Rödiger für das letzte Rennen in der Karriere von André Lange wieder in dessen Bob wechselte und mit ihm die Silbermedaille gewann.

  • There Are Peaks and Valleys in Any Olympic Journey, and That Is Certainly True of Canada’S Bobsleigh and Skeleton Athletes During the 2013-14 Olympic Year
    Bobsleigh Canada Skeleton – 2014 AGM Chief Executive Officers Report With a stated mission of developing world and Olympic champions, Kaillie and Heather’s historic repeat as Olympic Champions was indeed the central achievement for Bobsleigh CANADA Skeleton. A recap of season by our media consultant, Chris Dornan, shows the highlights in review: There are peaks and valleys in any Olympic journey, and that is certainly true of Canada’s bobsleigh and skeleton athletes during the 2013-14 Olympic year. A team mixed with high-powered, medal winning veterans combined with a youthful energy and drive, the competition began in October for many of our nation’s best athletes in hopes of earning a spot on the World Cup and Olympic squads. Canada’s bobsleigh athletes led the way to the World Cup podium beginning with the season-opener in Calgary. Kaillie Humphries continued her electrifying medal winning streak with a gold in Calgary while reuniting with 2010 Olympic gold medal winning brakeman, Heather Moyse. Kaillie drove the dynamic duo to a second straight Overall World Cup title with three gold, one-silver and a bronze medal before successfully defending their Olympic title in Sochi. Depth may be the best way to describe the men’s bobsleigh team. The newly formed duo of Chris Spring and Jesse Lumsden wasted no time making a statement with a third- place finish at the Calgary World Cup. While they did not find their way back to the podium again last year, for the first time ever Canada had three men’s sleds all slide into the World Cup medals.
