Etymology

The term 'bobsleigh' originated in the late 19th century, derived from the word 'bob', which refers to a quick motion forward, and 'sleigh', which is a vehicle of various forms, often on runners, designed to travel over snow and ice. The sport began in Switzerland in the late 1800s, with the first official bobsleigh club formed in 1884. As the sport evolved, international competitions began, and the first bobsleigh event was included in the Olympic Games in 1924. The design of bobsleighs has significantly advanced over the years, focusing on aerodynamics and safety to enhance performance and speed. Today, bobsleighing is a thrilling sport that showcases teamwork and engineering prowess.
