LAKE PLACID, N.Y. (AP) — The group that built the United States’ 2010 Olympic gold-medal-winning bobsled is parting ways with the national team.
The Bo-Dyn Bobsled Project has told the U.S. Bobsled and Skeleton Federation that it will aim to continue working with American bobsledders, but not directly with the federation. The agreement between Bo-Dyn and the USBSF was terminated in April, and a meeting earlier this month failed to bring any new deal.
Bo-Dyn teams have built several U.S. bobsleds, including the “Night Train” that Steven Holcomb, Steve Mesler, Curt Tomasevicz and Justin Olsen guided to the first American Olympic bobsledding gold medal in 62 years at the Vancouver Games.
USBSF CEO Darrin Steele calls it “the end of an era” and added that the federation is “forever grateful” to Bo-Dyn’s Geoff Bodine and Bob Cuneo for their vision in the project.
