Two-man bobsled final 20:53 - Feb 17 with 738 viewsZx1988

A good watch, but two observations:

1) I didn't realise that 'sled development' was such a big part of the sport; hence why teams like the USA and Germany excel, and others like Romania struggle to challenge the medal positions. Should it not be a standardised sled, so that it's a true test of the athletes, and not the money that their Olympic Associations can plough into R&D?

2) How come the teams only ever seem to be referred to based on the driver's name? Don't think I heard any of the brake-men get mentioned. Do they play a part, or are they just squishy ballast?

The brake-men are an important part of the power for launching the sled down the track. They keep pushing while the pilot gets in.

That's what I thought, which makes it seem a bit unfair that everything seems to be attributed to the drivers.

The drivers are doing the steering which, after the launch, is the most important part of getting a good rum.
