Monterey's Nick Cunningham ready for 4-man bobsled race in Olympics

Gongcheng, South Korea - Swash. Gilakkotti. Gilakkotti.

Six workers on the track at the top of the Alpensia sliding center are cleaning bombsled runway with brooms and storms. They wear crampons on their shoes, so they do not fall on ice.

It is a last chance to do everything before they start competing in the Winter Olympics, the day for the training of four men Bobsdades. The first two runs on Saturday finals were Saturday.

"I know that two people can take what I learned from the four people, and I know that they will apply for four people," said American pilot Nick Cunningham, who reached 21st in the two men's event, a disappointing ending, but this difficult track experience. Monterey man four man at the U.S. three U.S. He is a guide in the bobbies, and he needs to know about the first three curves or drinking.

At the top of the course, in a parking lot, an athlete from Austria is running back and forth, trying to get loose. He is wearing headphones and listening to music. He was built as a linebacker. No neck. Thick chest. All the muscles. Bo Jackson's thighs. These guys have the same look.

How are these racers doing warm temperatures when they are outside? Well, this is how. They run winter hats and winter jackets, running back and forth in a parking lot.

An American passing with pilot Justin Olsen, Carlo Valdes, listens to hard rock music. "I flip the switch," Valdes said. "I will go out of my mind and try to be a mindless animal."

The initial shelter has a NASCAR garage feel. These skins are in the wheels of the wheels with each other. There are some stories. Secret and all.

The band members wore official team jackets, and their hands were laid in their pockets, looking at the baby that the parents gave birth to their mother. Team USA has three slade texts that operate on these machines, which appear to be micro-rackets that give land on Mars.

His Slade of Ningham has not improved this Olympics much, but he changes the blades, the race conditions change the different types of tires. Fat blades for soft warm conditions, when thin ones make it cool and harder. Small tweaking takes place open. The main tweaking is the top secret. "It's far behind closed doors," Cunningham said.

The next set of athletes is ready for the race.

They break their legs and try to keep moving with their heads. Team USA has a massage therapist and three sports pharmaceutical workers have to prepare them. Some athletes raise their legs as they are practicing for radio city rockets. Hop from side to side like a boxer when others just got into the ring. What seems like a walk-freezer is the reason for warming.

A sled is removed and the new one penetrates. The leopard comes to the sloppy cheetah.

Gilakkotti. Gilakkotti. Gilakkotti.

As one is preparing another sledge, six workers clean the track.

"The track is clear," said an advertiser on loud speakers.

And another sledge disappears down the track.

The gentle dance between security and fear is always behind everyone's mind. Usually, the crashing thing is a taboo thing around Bobslords, but Cunningham speaks directly to his team of Sam McAnter and Hakim Abdul-Sabur. "I think we're going to end our heads and boys today," he said. If he talks about it, he gets rid of fears.

It's a tough, tough, delicate sport. Part NASCAR. Parkweight lifting. Part Sprint. Part chess match.

Two team members prepare the next sled. Protective casing is removed from the blades. The slade is kept on the track, which looks like a horse on the opening door. Just wait to take off.

At the starting line, the Bobslers walk through all kinds of rituals. Some slide towards it, if it wakes up. Some people rub it gently. Different teams do different things. Extensive, dance-directed high fives and low fives. There is a lot of grinding.

"You can see some crazy eyes," said Olson.

The track they go down.

Next one sled.

Everyone sounds like thunder on the horizon.

Many cameras are shown at sled. A train has a camera, it looks like a robot, which has the following big eyes on the track. It provides side view for TV viewers. On top there is another camera on the train, offering a view of looking down into the sled. Then, there is a person holding a long stick with a microphone to summarize the sounds.

Grunting makes great TV. Another camera operator holds a long stick with a camera on the end. That gives you all those amazing up-close-and-personal moments, where you can see the athlete’s feet and their hands and it’s like you are right there with them.

Olympics and TV athletes do not appear in mind, they're not bothering. Football players like to wear cameras on wires, hanging over on the games.

As the Athletics Track and Field Athletics wear, their feet wear boots with metal spikes on the ball, it's just a cluster of 250 small pins. The spikes that rusers jump into the sled when the legs and knees and feet are trying to fit together are very dangerous. Guys are spiked and walk away with blood running down their legs at the finish line.

Team USA has five or six coaches positioned up and down the track, videotaping everything, although head coach Brian Shimer is not here; he’s sick in bed.

After the slide disappears, everyone in the opening building hangs in the garage at two gang TV boards. Shows a TV run. Listing other results.

At the bottom of the run, they slipcovers over the blades. Workers carry skins on a truck and transport them back to the hill.

And the players are going through the mixed zone, talking to the reporters.

The training takes place for the day. Adjustments were made, at least people were made. Top-secret adjustments are made behind the closed doors. And Cunningham has a video to watch - he studied for one hour a day.

Now, they are waiting for the race; U.S. from mistakes made by two people We will discover if the teams learn.

If they make the right adjustments.

And if they find the perfect run.
