Wow that's accurate. They look super cool.

Yeah, absolutely.

Or like they’re actually the Wakanda bobsled team.

They look like Netrunners from cyberpunk

It's crazy to me that Nigeria has a bobsledding team, where would they practice?

Is there a Badass Pic Award wherever they have to compete?

Is weight an advantage or a disadvantage in bobsledding?

[–] ImpossibilityBox 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Weight is an advantage. While a heavier sled is harder to accelerate they build up more speed over the course of the run.

The minimum weight for the sled is 170kg. The maximum weight for sled and athletes combined is 390kg (Men) and 340kg (Women)

Thanks for looking that up for me. Do you have anything to add?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Nope. I'm sorry. That was nasty. Reflective of my mood, not you. You did add to the conversation. And I apologize.

[–] ImpossibilityBox 2 points 1 year ago

No worries!

Didn't Daft Punk break up a year ago?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Break up, no. Retire, yes :(

Well, they had a good long run and I hope they enjoy theur retirement. I hope they're relaxing on a beach somewhere
