    Bobsledding is crazy dangerous. For a bunch of dudes who had probably never seen snow before to get inside a bobsled with only a little practice and a lot of bad luck is still one of the best, gusiest, most bad ass Olympic stories I've ever heard

    For a country with no ice primitive training equipment they should get a medal for just qualifying for the olympics

    When he speaks of walking down the ice, having his head down in defeat, and then hearing someone start clapping, and then cheers erupting...
    I'm not crying your're crying. But I'm also crying.

      It was cool. There was a cold snap so a lot of events were delayed so they held a bunch in one day and everyone who had tickets to on of the events got to see everything that went on that day. So 90 m ski jump, ariels, 4 man bobsled, nortic combined. So we got to see Eddie the eagle as well

    I remember watching these guys and I remember the mood of the times and they made Bobsledding a must see event. Those guys rocked the Olympics that year and everyone wanted to know about these guys! I smiled watching this remembering back .... I am happy to see them back again! I have been an Olympic junky since I was a kid and these guys I will never forget- they put a smile on your face no matter what..
