!!!Bobsport

Bobsledding: Bobsleds with a steering mechanism and special sleighs 
which are ridden face down (skeletons) originate from Switzerland and 
were first introduced to Austria in 1905/1906 at Muerzzuschlag 
(Styria): these rather exclusive disciplines are increasingly 
practised on artificial ice runs (the only such run in Austria is 
situated at Innsbruck-Igls); the Austrian Bobsleigh and Skeleton 
Association (OeBSV) was founded in 1922 and, in 1993, comprised 29 
associations with 695 members.
