What bobsled ?

"Its collection includes the bobsled from the 1932 Olympic Games which had been missing for more than sixty years prior to being donated to the museum". Was there only one single bobsled used in the Bobsleigh at the 1932 Winter Olympics in which a total of 41 bobsledders from eight nations competed? One sled, which quickly had to be pulled uphill to be used by the next team, and even for both 2 and 4 man events? Hardly. -- Matthead Discuß 22:20, 2 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It's covered in the sources if you want to go more in-depth. I can name it, but were there more than one that was missing? _{TravellingCari}^{the Busy Bee} 00:29, 3 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I had a quick peek at the sources, but still don't get it. Well, so what sets apart the (formerly) missing one from those who never had vanished? It wasn't even the sled of the winning US teams, but "a revolutionary German bobsled" "used by the German four-man bobsled team" which took Bronze behind two US teams. The US boy may have had home field advantage, though. So what was revolutionary about it? I remember the expensive German "Opel-Bob" for the 1980s Olympics being banned(?) due to its wind-tunnel tested shape with canopy and the like.[1] [2]-- Matthead Discuß 13:24, 3 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
