Could you be the next GB Bobsleigh star?

British Bobsleigh athletes continue to demonstrate some of the strongest athletic ability in the world, and we want to know if you have the potential to match them.

We use a battery of tests that identify athletes’ performance profiles specific to bobsleigh and, if you meet the criteria below, we want to hear from you.

We're holding trials at the University of Bath on Saturday, July 18th and, you never know, it could be your first step to Winter Olympic glory.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR...

SPRINT SPEED AND RESISTED SPEED

REACTIVE STRENGTH/PLYOMETRIC ABILITY

POWER OUTPUT
