Do snowmobiles need to sit down?

Snowbikes don't need to sit down. The man in front acts as a helmsman and controls the direction of progress. People in the back play a balance role by adjusting their body position. When crossing the finish line, the people behind need to control the speed of the sled with their feet to make it stop quickly. You don't need to sit down during this process.

Rules of snowmobile race

In each event of the Winter Olympics, only two teams from each country and region can participate in bobsleigh. There are four rounds of men's two-person and four-person competitions, and the results are calculated according to the accumulated time of four-wheel skating, and the one with less time ranks first. In the women's two-seater competition, the results are calculated by the accumulated time of two-wheel skating. Men's 2-seater and 4-seater competitions are both 2 days, while women's 2-seater competitions are 1 day. Before the competition, each team has three days to try skating, and each team has six skating opportunities.

Bobsleigh started one team at a time. The order of the first round of departure is decided by drawing lots, usually the night before the game. Starting from the second round, according to the ranking of the last round, the top 15 athletes are in reverse order, 15 from 1 and 16 from ascending order. Before starting, athletes should park their sledges behind the starting line at a distance of15m.

Before the two-seater set off, two athletes stood on both sides of the sled. After the departure signal was given, they quickly pushed the sled forward and then jumped into the cabin. The athlete in front is in charge of steering, called the helmsman.
