the biggest ice sculpture in the world. every year it's rebuilt by hand for the world's best skeleton pilots and pumps let his kid did. everyone knows bob sledge on this. if anyone asks me what it is, i just showed them a video. since i did. they say things like, yeah, wow, that must be dangerous to hear focus fairly but sled and skeleton both started insult. would it? so how would they invented and how do you build a bob run in 3 weeks despite freezing temperature is the status of a call yesterday got was minus $38.00 degrees. if your trousers get when they free up, when you take them off with a whole, they're shape ogden missy. i was teeth that she needs emotional miramar because the cold doesn't bother me. summer affects me more with

a small town of something or it's in the swiss alps is a wind to suppose 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 tub class track, a money per kilometer on whatever. because we bought the fi nicer. push it down. the slope there it is. the olympic bub run is 1.7 kilometers long, with the descent of 150 meters. there's all the numbers. and here's the real thing
9:33 am
. every year, in late november 15 men come to his aunt loretta from italian south to roll to build the wolves. only natural track. for most of the year these bob run experts good as builders and carpenters. those, the one to work on this project have to love cold weather. otherwise the things get tough. peter, god knows all about that. but my mouth actual you definitely feel the cold in your body. it freezes your no rush, your cheeks feel heavy and speaking is difficult. i know it's very cold, can get pretty brutal here. got some side lusty. she'll get out of my, i 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 crucial dr. hong's screen? because when i was complete, building a natural track as a work of art for the perfect bob run, the snow is made artificially with
9:34 am
a snow gun. although it's created without, it's mixed with water until it achieves of pudding like consistency. there latortia who the natural said no 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 of, thus the cushioning of artificial snow, soaks up the waters, it becomes heavier, softer, and then easier to work with. i 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 the last that, well, no, 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 riders are due to crashed down the course. i've read knows every centimeter of the track. he's worked on it since 1981 and owns the sacred note, but containing the rough coals. the rest is about judgment,
9:35 am
instinct and experience, which he has in space. we proceed with hard. it is quite old. does smith, it's melissa notebook with all the measurements is at least 20 years old. throughout school all i'll to the home. we have various measuring the points. for example, the read plugs ok 2nd, the junction box, those to shore caution it on the sha hydrant is where the forward didn't go home, right? so we have 5 measuring points in the 4 ta go corner was a home impulse that some leeway it doesn't have to be down to the centimeter. but if you've got the measurements, it makes life easier. dorsey? oxy life? oh, so how did all this begin? in 1885, a group of bricks 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 creston, full years later. another bridge by the name of wilson smith tied to slaves and a board together with string. and so the 1st bob smith was born. this created
9:36 am
a rivalry when bob said and christa uses as the crest a run became too tight for the heavier foster bobs. they needed something new. ah, so and 19 o for the 1st olympic bob run was built. meanwhile, crest us letting became known as skeleton. soccer sh meat was 12 when she 1st tries the sport. now she's one of switzerland's best skeleton talents ah, 3 loud f o floats. they used to be made of wood. now our sleds are all steel and carbon fiber. they used to have a cushion. now there's a neoprene layer painted by. there's the boat to lie on and you can keep yourself steady with your arms fast. they used to have holes on the sides, which people use to keep stable. doubtful la, here, once it up as gal,
9:37 am
or yes, or you read the stunning. so i will, i'll be going down this in about 2 weeks on you can't really see it yet. see, but i'm sure they'll get it done over the screening 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 missed 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 corner telephone corner. oh, devils die corner who's on the decisive stretch. comes about a 3rd of the way down most shoot conan when she once broke
9:38 am
a finger. as i didn't let since i caught in the last 2 bands before the straight into horseshoe. you can prepare yourself like okay, here's hoshi for sure. for, for, for me he says, got, it's very important to me because i respect how difficult it is actually to make the sled knows when you're scared and then you can end up sliding leaked and then you try to find your position again and done. then you wait, but the corner comes so fast talk to languish honestly so chanel in the straight, you get up to 80 kilometers per hour. 100. so yeah, i played and the other builders are working on horseshoe corner now. these killers who i car weights. oh, hopefully it'll work out. yeah, no worries. does you have to build it for me for the world. cough through the vin hands the dust. can you tell the radius just by looking you're say more or less wonder it's cool. it's not a 100 percent over. ok. mark, when it's i see
9:39 am
a dog man on roadrunner for or you can see it better and among eyes ish fancied misnomer based on the road on my side. and just, you know, 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 to stuff when i'm at the highest point. i know i have to do that and then my total m m. one of i see middle case being in core. when i see the word out of the corner of my eye, i know i'm high enough for da frequency stuff 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 of us. if you're too low, you'll have problems when you come out of the corners. fuck no more, all gone, keeps mazacco 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
9:40 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 the shipment for conflicts. corners are decisive. athletes can experienced 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 after it has noticed that the climate here has become more extreme over the last 30
9:41 am
years via fish amada, a thought can be freezing of the one to week. later you can have a warm spell about that because more and more commer, this is hard to him, but if it never used to happen, i'd say it like this. it used to stay cold throughout the winter, hotshot the cold, the 1st to gone to being to those, to what it would be between minus 10 and him and minus 15 for the whole season for grab me now. it swings from minus $20.00 to 0. semantic all of the change is brutal . these de soto max leash with aaliyah's. ah mm. mm ah, i've had peter and co are finished. the track is in use. the team will stay for the
9:42 am
rest of the season as the olympic bob rotten has to be repaired and treated regularly as it is so sticks with you live. and i've, by it's funny because the preparations take up most of your time there by the even the bomb i'm gruesome as of it legs for hours of work before you can do it, run for the fun cause with things like preparing the runners and tightening screws seen it takes forever and all that just to spend 2 minutes getting 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.
