Description: Bobsleigh or bobsled is a winter sport in which teams of 2 to 4 athletes make timed runs down narrow, twisting, banked, iced tracks in a gravity-powered sleigh. International bobsleigh competitions are governed by the International Bobsleigh and Skeleton Federation (formerly the FIBT). The first bobsleds were built in the late 19th century in St. Moritz, Switzerland, by wealthy tourists from Victorian Britain who were staying at the Palace Hotel owned by Caspar Badrutt. The early sleds were adapted from boys' delivery sleds and toboggans. These eventually evolved into bobsleighs, luges and skeletons. Initially the tourists would race their hand-built contraptions down the narrow streets of St. Moritz; however, as collisions increased, growing opposition from St. Moritz residents led to bobsledding being eventually banned from public highways. In the winter of 1884, Badrutt had a purpose-built run constructed near the hamlet of Cresta. The Cresta Run remains the oldest in the world and is the home of the St. Moritz Tobogganing Club. It has hosted two Olympic Winter Games and as of 2022 was still in useFREE SHIPPING IN THE UNITED STATES ONLY!!!!!RARE UNUSUAL CHRISTMAS NOVELTY HOME DECOR PIECERAZ IMPORTS CHRISTMAS THREE TEAM ELVES SLED TEAMVARSITY SLED TEAMLIGHT WEIGHT THREE PERSON TEAM ELF SLED RACERSMEASURES APPROX.....12"Visit My eBay Store: KATHY'S BARGAIN SPECIALS DAN
