Venue Information
Track Information
The Combined Track, built in 1999-2000 in time for the 2000 Inaugural Winter Goodwill Games, is a state of the art track that offers challenges to athletes of all three sliding sports. Along with the track in Altenberg, Germany, the Combined Track at the Olympic Sports Complex is the most technical and challenging in the world for drivers, integrating all three components of bobsled and skeleton: start, equipment, and driving. The home track for the US Bobsled & Skeleton teams, this outstanding facility continues to improve as it upgrades its timing, communication, lighting, building, and refrigeration systems.
