Bobsledding was introduced in the 1924 Olympic games in France. Only four-man sleds raced there. Now, there is also a two-man sled competition.
The bobsled run is at least 1,500 meters long and has about 15 or 20 turns. Walls of ice, about 18 inches high, keep the sleds from flying off the runs.
A race is made up of four runs and results are based on combined times of all four runs. That means that one bad run can cost a team a medal. In the Olympics only men are allowed to compete.
