A sport immortalized in the cult classic Cool Runnings, bobsleigh is one of the most thrilling events of the Winter Olympics. A combination of raw athletic power, teamwork and immense technical skill, the sleds can reach speeds in excess of 150 km/h.
Organized in Cortina d’Ampezzo, at the Cortina Sliding Center, four events are scheduled for Milano Cortina 2026: two-man bobsleigh, four-man bobsleigh, two-man bobsleigh and women’s monobob. All of this is guaranteed to deliver plenty of drama.
When it comes to nations to watch, there is one that should dominate. Four years ago, German athletes won three gold medals out of a possible four. They also swept the podium in the men’s two-man bobsleigh. Francesco Friedrich will aim for a fifth gold medal in Italy and will compete in the two-man and four-man bobsleigh events.
Germany’s Laura Nolte is also expected to add to her medal haul and will aim for gold in the monobob and two-man bobsleigh, with her main competition in the solo event likely coming from teammate Lisa Buckwit and Team USA’s Kaysha Love.
