America's Cup Race - Calgary, Canada - Rob loading the sled at the start. 

The athlete waiting is Japanese, Inoe, probably The fastest sprinter in the world.  

However, he crashes just about every time.  In fact, he didn't make it past the start in this race!

 

Each sled cost 2-5,000 dollars.  Runners cost 200-1000 dollars a pair.

Men and Women compete, though not against each other.

This race, there were athletes from Argentina, Mexico, Lebanon, Japan, England, Canada, and the USA.

 

I made it on the podium several times this year, not bad for a rookie!

Making friends with the British Team!

 

The Japanese Team is CRAZY!

 

Didn't make it on the podium, but 5th place for a first year slider in the first America's Cup caught much attention!
