Belgian bobsledders want to buy their own bobsled for Olympic dream
Published
The Belgian bobsleigh team, known as the Bullets, wants to purchase its own bobsled. For the team, this is an important step towards their big goal: competing at the Olympic Games.
According to the team, a monobob currently costs a lot of money. “The exact purchase price for a monobob at this time is 28,750 euros excluding VAT,” the team says. Their own bobsled would give the Bullets more freedom to train and work on their results, because they would no longer be dependent on equipment belonging to others.
Buying a bobsled is not a simple decision for a small sports team. Bobsleigh is a sport that requires a lot of equipment and training, and the costs are high. That is why the team is looking for ways to raise the money needed.
The Bullets hope their plan succeeds. For the team, their own bobsled would mean a concrete step forward in their preparation for the Olympic Games. It is not yet clear when the purchase can take place.
