When Canada Olympic Parks ice house melts in the summer, bobsleigh
drivers attach wheels to their wagons and roll their way down the
concrete track.
This year COP shares the downhill thrill usually reserved for
Olympians by allowing groups of four to ride the summer
bobsleigh. A professional driver steers the sleigh as it bobs and
banks at speeds up to 100-kilometres-per-hour through 14 turns before
coming to a screeching halt at the bottom of the hill 60 seconds later.
If only the Jamaican bobsleigh team had this hot track to practice on. Cool
Runnings would have been a much different movie. Jaelyn Molyneux
