Women’s Bobsleigh Season Best Ever
After the best season ever for Australian Women’s Bobsleigh, the girls have been enjoying a well earnt break in the off-season. Training, however will resume very soon with the girls running another recruitment drive for exciting new recruits to the team (more on this shortly). Unfortunately, however, the training push-sled was damaged in the recent floods in Brisbane so a new one will need to be built, but the girls are unphased – setting their sights on breaking the Top 10 in the World next year. And further to that – an Olympic Medal in Sochi in 2014.
