Night Train Bobsled Team Wins Gold for the United States
Night Train Bobsled
Team USA won its first Four-Man Bobsled race in 62 years, taking home another Gold medal for America. The foursome, who call themselves the Night Train team, went into today’s race in first place, and held that position all the way through the heat. The team performed the “Holkey Dance” for NBC in their interview after they received their medals in celebration of their gold. The dance is named after their pilot, Steve Holcomb, who went into today’s race calm, cool, and collective.
“This will take a while to sink in,” Holcomb said after winning the Gold medal. The team came out of their sled already celebrating their victory, and wrapped American flags around each other. Hugs were shared by all team members and the coaches. It was a celebration not only for USA-1, but for all American bobsled teams. The last time Team USA won a Gold medal in this event was in St. Moritz at the 1948 Winter Olympics.
