The Utah Olympic Park bobsleigh track remains a global showcase venue and the site of World Cup competitions today. It is a regular training center for national and international athletes. The local track was the inspiration for Utah native Steve Holcomb, who grew up sliding there and went on to win Olympic gold and two silver medals. Since the track opened in 1997, Team USA has seen a resurgence in bobsleigh, winning 13 medals. Presently the sport is contested as four-man, two-man, two-woman and women’s monobob, with the possibility of future Paralympic inclusion.
