How Fast Is Bobsleigh?

Olympic bobsleigh teams hit 150 km/h on the ice — and pull 5g sustained through the corners, comparable to an F1 car cornering. The track is actively refrigerated to preserve the perfect ice surface throughout the race.

Bobsleigh teams must push their sled and run alongside it for the first 50 metres before jumping in — the start time accounts for nearly half the final result.

• Faster than motorway driving
• 5g cornering, comparable to F1
