Bobsledding got its name from the practice of competitors "bobbing" their bodies to gain speed while pushing and steering the sled. The term originated in the late 19th century when the sport began to gain popularity in St. Moritz, Switzerland. Early sledders would often bob up and down to help propel the sled down the track, leading to the adoption of the name "bobsled."
