The term "bobsled" comes from the early 20th century when athletes began to "bob" their bodies to gain speed while racing down the icy tracks. The name likely derives from the combination of the word "bob," referring to the up-and-down motion, and "sled," which describes the vehicle itself. This unique style contributed to the sled's design and has remained part of the sport's terminology.
