Bobsled
For a largely obscure sport — at least to almost everyone who isn’t German — bobsled nearly stole the show at the 2022 Winter Olympics.
The men’s two- and four-man races, as well as the two-woman competition, primarily demonstrated Germany’s sliding sport dominance at these Games. Through luge, skeleton, and bobsled, Germany won nine of 10 possible gold medals; bobsled pilot Friedrich Francesco earned two, while Laura Nolte clinched one.
But the Olympic debut of monobob, a second women’s bobsledding event, broke the German stranglehold. More importantly, it offered an opportunity for two of the United States’ most resilient, compelling, and decorated athletes to truly shine — specifically, as the final two heats aired immediately after Super Bowl LVI, when practically the entire country had its eyes glued to a screen.
