Bobsledding was first played in 1924, with one person pushing the racer for 50 meters before jumping in. Teams of 2-3 men compete each day of racing, also doing intense strength training. The first recorded bobsledding race took place 150 years ago. The document also provides biographical information on bobsledder Charles Berkeley, including his age, height, birthdate and place of birth, current occupation, and the sports team he plays for.
