The bobsled cracks me up.
How can this be an Olympic sport? It looks like an amusement park ride.

I think John Candy is in it, too. :D I miss seeing their team. It's kind of a shame that only the most skilled teams can compete now. Kind of spoils the fun.

4. but it takes so much skills to drive those turns that fast...
but yeah, it's often so fast you can barely see the sled! It's actually been around as a sport for quite some time.
