Bobsled: What to expect Germans swept the bobsled gold medals in Torino, but they'll have to hold off surging American and Canadian contingents in Vancouver. U.S. women's bobsledder and Torino silver medalist Shauna Rohbock calls it "the elusive medal." That would be Olympic gold, the one that's missing from her collection.
As the pilot for the USA-1 bobsled, I broke a 62-year gold medal drought when my sled, the 'Night Train" won the Olympic title at the 2010 Vancouver Games. A degenerative eye condition nearly caused me to quit my sport in 2008, but corrective surgery restored my vision to 20-20.
