Start of the Bobsleigh Run at St. Moritz, Switzerland (1908): A Thrilling Winter Tradition Unfolds This photograph captures the exhilarating start of the bobsleigh run at St. Moritz, Switzerland, in May 1908. The image transports us back in time to an era of winter sports and daring athleticism. The serene backdrop of the picturesque Swiss Alps sets the stage for this thrilling competition. Bobsleigh, a popular winter sport, originated in Switzerland in the late 19th century. Teams of two or four athletes, harnessed to a heavy sled, race down an icy track, aiming for the fastest time. In this photograph, we see the bobsleigh teams poised at the starting gate, their faces etched with determination and focus. The anticipation is palpable as the runners push off, propelling the sleds forward with all their might. The crisp, white snow contrasts beautifully with the dark, polished wood of the sleds, creating a stunning visual effect. The athletes, bundled up against the cold, are a testament to their endurance and commitment to the sport. The starting gate, with its intricate design, adds an element of elegance and sophistication to the scene. St. Moritz, a renowned winter resort, has been hosting international bobsleigh competitions since 1897. The town's commitment to winter sports and its picturesque setting make it the perfect location for this thrilling event. The start of the bobsleigh run at St. Moritz, Switzerland, in 1908, marked the beginning of another exciting chapter in the history of this beloved winter tradition.
