shaka moved out of the last place for the 1st time since october, and they pick up 3 crucial points in the battle to beat the drop. and we will end it there. switch life is up next. taking a look at the sandwich olympic curve, bob run where the world's best bob slave pilots gather each year is more on our website at d, w dot com. you can also check out our social media channels. the handle you need there is at the w news, micro local in berlin for me and the rest of the berlin news team. thanks for watching. we'll see you at the top of the next a scoring we say they were about giving up

sports like every weekend on d. w. american. how many portion of lunch are now in the world right now? the climate change, the very hot story. this is life less the way home just one week. how much work can really get we still have time to go. i'm doing with his subscriber for morning. was like oh, a bomb here, morris. we're building a olympic barbara,

the biggest ice sculpture in the world. every year it's rebuilt by hand for the world's best skeleton pilots, and bob sled is bob kennedy. everyone knows bob sledge on it. if anyone asks me what it is, i just showed them a video. since i just did, they say things like yeah, wow, that must be dangerous to hear focus fairly but sled and skeleton both started in fact, but it's so how would they invented and how do you build a bub run in 3 weeks despite freezing temperatures? discount just a buckle? yes it got was minus $38.00 degrees. if your trousers get wet, they free up. when you take them off, what they hold their shape. block them a c o c punch data image we're off because the cold doesn't bother me. summer effects me more. ah

the small town of something or it's in the swiss alps is a winters 4th paradise for people with money. lots of money, luxury hotels, brands, and restaurants about 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 top class track. thank you for your money per kilometer. whatever. because we bought the fi nicer. of course you down the slope flew there. it is. the olympic bob run is 1.7 kilometers long, with a descent of 130 meters. those other numbers. and here's the real thing.

every year, in late november 15, men come to 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 than things get tough. peter, god knows all about that. but my mouth actually definitely feel the cold in your body. it freezes your no rush, your cheeks feel heavy and speaking is difficult. i notice via a cold can get pretty brutal here on site. last she'll get out in my 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 speeds. lauve, as the crawford often hawkish re, because without complete building a natural track is a work of art. for the perfect dub run, the snow is made artificially with

a snow gun. although it's created without chemicals, it's mixed with water until it achieves a pudding like consistency. there left wassner boot a natural didn't know wouldn't work as well as material for the tract. so because it's too soft, you can't take as much pressure or the same load, thus the cushioning artificial snow, soaks up the waters, it becomes heavier, softer, and then easier to work with, thought about them as it's all of water. it freezes off of this and can keep taking the strain, kind on him of i thought of either and blasted them. that's how the oldest bobsled track in the world is gradually rebuilt, year on year. just a few weeks before the world's best riders are due to crash down the course. i've read knows every centimeter off the track. he's worked on it since 1981 and owns the sacred note book containing the rough course. the rest is about judgment,

instinct and experience, which he has in spades pursued record. it is quite old. a dish? nope, it's the pizza notebook with all the measurements is at least 20 years old, super somacki, all halter though. homer. we have various measuring the points, for example, the read plug. so kids and the junction box, those to shore caution, he thought the, the hydrant is further forward. they can go home, right? so we have 5 measuring points in the portal, go corner was the home and thought that there's 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 2 slaves and

a board together with string. and so the 1st bob sled was born. this created a rivalry between bobsled and krista uses of the press to run, became too tight for the heavier, faster bobs. they needed something new ah! so and 19 o full, the 1st olympic barbara was built. meanwhile christus letting became known a skeleton. zocker schmidt was 12 when she 1st tried the sport. now she's one of switzerland's best skeleton talons ah, loud as though 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 painted by there's the board to lie on and you can keep yourself steady with your miss douglas to face these to have holes on the signs which people use to keep stable. doubtful. la, here one for stuff is kalu.

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 yancey, but i'm sure they'll get it done over those clean dish on him. so they go, excuse me, that you don't hear me. oh, 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 be so you can just see the bend. nice. that's the 1st corner core fit. ah, there are 14 corners on the track. many have imaginative names like snake, horner telephone corner, or devils die corner who's on the decisive stretch. comes about

a 3rd of the way down horseshoe corner when she once broke a finger of of this in lesson cycle in the last 2 bands before the straight into horseshoe. you can prepare yourself like ok, here's hoshi horshal for farm for me. he says 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. the rank is shown as the social in the straight. you get up to 80 kilometers per hour. i'm 100. mm. so yeah, i fled and the other build is a working on horseshoe corner now. hello. oh, i can't wait. oh, hopefully it'll work out. oh yeah i'm is. does you have to build it for me for the world car? through the vin hands, the dust. can you tell the radius just by looking, you're say more or less wonder it's cold, it's not a 100 percent over. ok mark when it's i see

a dog man on roger enough for you can see it better and among eyes ish, fancy misnomer. physical on the road. one on my siding can or 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. and then my calamity stuff muscle won't em monterey. see metal cake big in core. when i see the word out of the corner of my eye, and i know i'm high enough for doubt, frequency stuff holds that line, then i'll be ok. cool. then proceed minutes degrees here. you're more still have to reach a certain height in the corner of fuss. if you're too low, you'll have problems when you come out of the corners. fuck no more often gone. groups, missouri knows that all to 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

130 kilometers per hour. i'm listening from if you stay and mostly with your head and shoulders. when done, mom can't. if needed, you can use your feet to it that has the fastest impact on the sledge level. daria, if the treatment for counsellors, 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 artists centimeters away from an ice track. the ice channel always looks the same, but there are subtle changes. temperature affects the descent. some t times it's slower, meaning pilots have to change their approach to corners. this marks the zant. moritz olympic bob run out from other tracks in europe, north america and japan, which lie in less favorable climates and have to be artificially refrigerated. but i think has noticed that the climate here has become more extreme over the last 30

years. via tish amada, a thought can be freezing of the one the week later, you can have a warm spell of either becoming more and more commercial to him, or if it never used to happen, hopefully, at least as it used to stay cold throughout the winter. her shocked the cold, the 1st to going to bring to that so it would be between minus 10 him and minus 15 for the whole season, forgot me now. it swings from minus $20.00 to 0. swan to call that the change is brutal. these de soto backslash with aaliyah. ah m. ah, i've hated peter and co are finished. the track is in use. the team will stay for

the rest of the season as the olympic bob run has to be repaired and treated regularly. as it is as thick forgive and i've by it's funny because the preparations take up most of your time by the name of the bolling feel good. who said as of it like this for 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. the middle of 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 track simply disappears until winter returns. and the building work starts. the fresh
