Germany took the bronze in the 4-man bobsled Olympics in Vancouver this year. The German woman’s team didn’t fare as well in the competition, although ending the race much warmer than some of their female counterparts back home did last weekend.
In the town of Braunlage, 14,000 spectators came dressed for the weather to watch 30 bare-breasted men and women hit the slopes for the 2nd annual topless sledding race.
With as much attention as the sport of topless sledding received in Germany, it most assuredly will not become part of the Olympics, and is definitely not one for the thin-skinned either.
