The US Ski & Snowboard team hosted several professional drivers for a bobsled run, an aerials demonstration and a workout at the training center.Three of the best drivers in the country — Denny Hamlin, Bubba Wallace and Chris Mazdzer — arrived at Utah Olympic Park on Wednesday eager to take their maiden bobsled run.
Hamlin described bobsled as “a mix of race car-banking Gs versus a roller coaster’s up and down.” Wallace, meanwhile, called it: “A little more erratic than driving a car for sure. Especially because you’re not in control. You don’t really know what to expect.” “It’s fun,” Wallace said. “You ask a lot of questions. You prepare yourself, make sure you’re not walking into something super sketch. But I enjoy the thrill of it and getting to experience . Toyota does a great job of crossing all the athletes over, bringing them together for events like this.”
The summer ski jumping setup drew the drivers in from the very beginning. The flurry of action across the UOP plaza caught Hamlin’s attention as soon as he arrived and his interest caused the group to make a short detour to the deck above the aerated pool. He stared intently as aerial and mogul skiers flung themselves off ramps of various sizes then splashed down, skis, boots and all, into the water below. Hamlin skis, but when asked if he wanted to try jumping, he shook his head resolutely.
Mazdzer went first. Dropping in from the top of the ramp, he almost pulled off a backflip before cannonballing into the water.
