Olympics 2022: the completely failed start of the Brazilian bobsledders (video)

The biggest failure of the Beijing Olympics is to be credited to the Brazilian bobsleigh team.

A false start fortunately made in training for the two-man bobsleigh event, where pilot Edson Bindilatti is maneuvering for the Brazilians.

But it is especially towards his partner Edson Martins that it is advisable to linger.

Invited to ensure the thrust of the bobsleigh, the latter slipped from the start, finding himself head first in the speed machine.

Desperately looking for his partner, the 42-year-old pilot saw his partner's repeated setbacks, sliding in all directions at the rear.

But Bindilatti also had great difficulty getting inside his bobsleigh, further delaying the start of the Auriverde duo.

Result: more than six seconds behind the reference mark, made by the German duo led by Christoph Hafer.

Souvenir from “Rasta Rocket”

A sequence that did not fail to summon memories of the film “Rasta Rocket” to Internet users, quick to make the link between reality and fiction.

A fiction overtaken by sporting reality since Jamaica is well represented in the event with the bob led by Shanwayne Stephens, clocked in at around one second from the German reference this Friday (+0.98).
