Shovel Racing on Luge/Bobsled Track

Описание: Olympic Shovel Racing - 2003 Speed Shovel Race Championships - The Poor Man's Luge Invitational - Utah Olympic Park, Park City, Utah- March of 2003.

John Strader produced this event right after the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City, to show the world what Olympic Style Shovel Racing would look like and that it was viable as a true winter sport. This video has footage from the practice day where many of our shovel racers had never tried it before. It also has the best of all competitors runs on race day.

The race was a combination of World Champion caliber Shovel Racers, Rookie first timers and well seasoned shovel racers from the UOP Track Crew. This was a two race format with the best combined time winning. The event was hosted by the UOP (Utah Olympic Park) and made possible by the then track manager David Dinger (1964-2010). The event would not have been possible without his help and support.

Watch the shovel racing action as the competitors live out their Olympic dreams on the Luge/ Bobsled track in Park City.
