the small town of something or it's in the swiss alps. is a winters both paradise for people with money, lots of money, luxury hotels, brands, and restaurants abound. all sorts of events take place to keep the rich and famous entertained. a frozen lake becomes an arena for everything from polo to crickets, and even horse racing. but some were, it was also the birthplace of bob, sledding and skeleton, and they require a tub class track when you get a money per kilometer or whatever because we bought the fly nicer aqua down the slope blue. there it is. the olympic barbara is 1.7 kilometers long, with the descent of 130 meters. there's all the numbers and his real thing.
2:19 am
every year in late november 15 men can't, isn't loretta from italian south to rolled, to build the wolves. only natural track for most of the year these bob run experts good as builders and carpenters. there is a one to work on this project. have to love cold weather. otherwise things get tough. peter, god knows all about that. but my left, so you definitely feel the cold in your body. it freezes your no rush, your cheeks feel heavy and speaking is difficult. uninsured, a cold can get pretty brutal here on site with less jojo out in mouth. i'm making the wall of the overhang above the curve so that the bombs letters aren't in danger of flying off the track on the corner due to the high speed slow. how's the proof adopted hawkish ring? because without complete building a natural track as a work of art for the perfect bob run, the snow is made artificially with
2:20 am
a snow gun. well, that's created without chemicals. it's mixed with water until it achieves a pudding lie consistency. there. latortia, who the natural said no, wouldn't work as well as material for the track. so because it's too soft and can't take as much pressure or the same load, the fuss of cushioning, the artificial snow soaks up the waters, it becomes heavier, softer, and then easier to work with all about them as it's all of water, it freezes. lots of this and can keep taking the strain kind on him of i thought of i thought and blasted them. that's how the oldest bob sled track in the world is gradually rebuilt, year on year, just a few weeks before the world's best ride is due to crash down the course. i've read knows every centimeter of the track. he's worked on it since 1981 and owns the sacred note book containing the rough calls. the rest is about judgment,
2:21 am
instinct and experience, which he has in spades pursued with hard. it is quite old dish. nope. it's the pizza notebook, with all the measurements is at least 20 years old. sucrose wants your i'll to thought homer. we have various measuring the points, for example, the red blood suck it 2nd, the junction box doors to shore caution. he thought the, the hydrant is further forward. don't go home, right? so we have 5 measuring points in the portal, go corner of the home and thought that some leeway it doesn't have to be down to the centimeter. but if you got the measurements, it makes life easier throughout the life work. oh, so how did all this begin? in 1885, a group of brits built the 1st ever ice track between krista and somewhat it's the crest to run. participants flit downhill, head 1st and face down on sleds known as christos, full years later, another bridge by the name of wilson smith tied to slaves and a board together with string. and so the 1st bobsled was born. this created
2:22 am
a rivalry between bobsled and krista uses of the press to run became too tight for the heavier foster bobs. they needed something new. ah! so in 19 o 4, the 1st olympic barbara was built. meanwhile christus letting became known a skeleton. soccer sh meat was 12 when she 1st tried the sport. now she's one of switzerland's best skeleton talents. ah, fair, loud as oath, they used to be made of wood. now our sleds are all steel and carbon, but they used to have a cushion. now there's a neoprene layer you painted by, there's the board to lie on and you can keep yourself steady with your. this is doug christopher. they used to have holes on the sides, which people use to keep stable. doubtful le, here when to stop is kalu.
2:23 am
yes, are you ready? stunning. so i will, i'll be going down this in about 2 weeks and you can't really see it yet. see, but i'm sure they'll get it done over those clean dish on him. so they won't excuse me. that you don't hear me. the truck has to be ready in 10 days, then i will be able to test it out. she lives with her family practically next to the run. so she's aware of all the hard work that goes into putting it together. months each and i'm business, you can just see the bend. nice. that's the 1st corner called fit. ah, there are 14 corners on the track. many have imaginative names like snake, horner, telephone corner, or devils die corner. possess all the decisive stretch comes about a 3rd of the way down. we'll shoot, conan when she once broke
2:24 am
a finger. as of this in, let's see. cycle in the last 2 bands before the straight into horseshoe. you can prepare yourself like okay, his whole shave or shore for farm for me. he says, got, it's very important to me because i respect how difficult it is actually to make the slide knows when you're scared, come, then you can end up sliding them. then you try to find your position again and done then you wait, but the corner comes so fast hans dying. d sean, this is so chanel in the strait, you get up to 80 kilometers per hour. 100. mm. so yeah, i fluid and the other builders are working on horseshoe corner. now this is who i can't wait. oh, hopefully it'll work out. yeah. i mean, does you have to build it for me for the world cup, for the vm and the dust. can you tell the radius just by looking your say more or less on that call? it's not a 100 percent over. ok mark when it's i see dog, milan rush,
2:25 am
run for i you can see it better and i'm on 5 ish fancy misnomer physical. the only road one on my side is can i, you know exactly what you have to do in the corners and you feel it too high. when i go into a corner, i know i have to do this stuff. when i'm at the highest point, i know i have to do that than i thought columbus duffle won't. em manase middle cake pinion corps. when i see the word out of the corner of my eye, i know i'm high enough for doubt. frequency thought holds done by then i'll be ok or then proceed. minutes greasy. her. you're more still have to reach a certain height in the corner or fast. if you're too low, you'll have problems when you come out of the corners fucking off, my horse hold on, keeps mazacco knows that all t well, right? so, so exactly, i know i've tested that theory out. unlike a bobsled, a skeleton sled has no steering all brakes. pilots navigate with their bodies at
2:26 am
130 kilometers per hour. i'm listening from if you stay and mostly with your head and shoulders. when done mankind, if needed, you can use your feet to it that has the fastest impact on the sledge level. darky of 39 for conflicts. corners are decisive. athletes can experience g force of more than 5 times. they body weight the same as formula one drivers, except here their faces artist centimeters away from an ice track. the ice channel always looks the same, but there are subtle changes. temperature affects the descent. sometimes it's slower, meaning pilots have to change their approach to corners. this marks the zant marita olympic bob run out from other tracks in europe, north america and japan, which lie in less favourable climates and have to be artificially refrigerated. but as it has noticed that the climate here has become more extreme over the last 30
2:27 am
years. they are tish amada, a thought can be freezing on the one to wait later, you can have a warm spell of it. that's becoming more and more common. it's, it's hard to remember if it never used to happen, hopefully it like this. it used to stay cold throughout the winter hotshot the cold to foster gone from being to those to where it would be between minus 10 and him and minus 15 for the whole season. forgot me now. it swings from minus $20.00 to 0 . so i want to call the change is brutal. these de soto max leash, portales ah mm mm ah, i've had peter and co are finished. the track is in use. the team will stay for the
2:28 am
rest of the season as the olympic bob run has to be repaired and treated regularly as his little sticks. look 11 out of by. it's funny because the preparations take up most of your time to buy this and even the ball and gruesome as though it takes 4 hours of work before you can do it. run for the fun cause with things like preparing the runners and tightening screws. it takes forever a all that just to spend 2 minutes going down the track with in march. the season is over. the weather gets warmer and the truck simply disappears until winter returns. and the building work starts afresh.
