Makes I proud for one of the benefits of the Commonwealth working together.

Here's hoping they and the British teams are successful.

Bobsleighs run on ice

I think snow is required to make the ice.

Quote.
The rest of the world's bobsled runs are made from metal and concrete. Before the race, people cover the concrete with snow, then soak the snow with water. The resulting ice forms the surface for the race.

They don't get much Snow in Bath neither.

There was a superb film called 'cool runnings' which was based on the Jamaican bobsled teams debut in the 1988 winter olympics, a comedy but loosely based on the true story. I didn't realise till seeing this film that it was same olympics where Eddie the Eagle triumphed. What a year for the underdogs.

I thought they did drug testing on Olympic athletes theses days. Was I wrong?
