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.
