TOP
After the 2019/2020 IBSF World Cup Season came to a close, Team Bobsleigh Brad (GB1) finished the season with a multitude of medals, top 10 finishes and a global ranking of 6th place
It was a huge success, and was only possible because of the immensely strong bond of our crew, the never-say-die attitude of our pilot, and our unbelievably supportive family of private sponsors
It has certainly not been an easy journey
2019 UK Sport Depart
In 2019 our team was cut from UK Sport funding. A decision made after a lacklustre 2018 Olympics where we didn't deliver a medal
In fact, despite being recognised as one of the best starting crews in the world, and putting together 4 competitive drives, we found no speed and finished 16th
A disaster.
Why?
THE REASON FOR THAT PERFORMANCE?

Sadly some mis-managed funds from our governing body (BBSA) resulted in us not investing in the development of kit, (sleds and runners).

This resulted in a lack of speed down the track compared to the rest of the world, and meant that we suffered the public humiliation of that Olympic result - for many of us, our first Winter Olympic Games.

And we had no control over it.

IMAGINE
FIAT starting a Formula One team, and forcing their drivers to use decades-old 1 litre Puntos
This was the reality of our last Olympic cycle, and a challenge which no team could overcome, regardless of their ability
SOMETHING HAD TO BE DONE
FAST FORWARD ONE YEAR

We took matters into our own hands and after some athlete-led crowd-funding success (thanks to supporting exposure from the BBC) gave us the means to rent a competitive sled and runners, we finished 4th at the 2019 World Championships in Whistler, Canada.

This was an enormous improvement on our previous World's best of 12th Place.

After the 2018's Olympic disappointment, UK Sport had tasked us with a medal at these World Championships to justify continued support.

4th wasn't good enough.

We weren't deterred.
This result showed we always had the world-class athletes + the ability to endure and persevere through the tough times (all prerequisites for a bobsledder!)
The missing piece was the equipment, and at this early stage of our journey to the top, we showed the world, the previous management and most importantly, ourselves, that we had the means to achieve greatness when all aspects of performance were taken care of.
INVEST IN THE EQUIPMENT

From here we believed that, if we just had the right support, we could channel that funding where it was needed most, supporting the athletes with basic living costs, and primarily, investing in world-class kit.

We were always going to be playing catch up to the might of the German bobsledding research programme, but with the correct funds we knew we could buy 'off the shelf' and get pretty damn close

This season (2019/2020) and with the support of some kind donors and sponsors, we managed to purchase a new 4-man sled and fully purchase the rented 2-man we used at the 2019 World Championships.

Thank You To All Our Current Sponsor Family
We're passionate about our sport, our team, and we believe in the sacrifice and dedication that all of our guys have made to make winter sporting history for our nation

Team bobsleigh brad Global Ranking Last 3 Seasons In Numbers:

Olympic year 2018 (With UK Sport): 2 Man - 34th | 4 Man - 13th
2018/2019 (2 Man Self-Funded): 2 Man - 12th | 4 Man - 17th
2019/2020* (Totally Self-Funded): 2 Man - 6th | 4 Man - 12th

*Due to not having the funds to compete in North America at the start of the year, we were actually 2 races down on everyone this season which made our final points haul even more spectacular

SILVER MEDAL EXPLOITS BELOW
OUR RANKING PROGRESS THE LAST 3 SEASONS SINCE GAINING CONTROL OF OUR TEAM SUPPORT
We could've folded at any time since our 2018 disappointment
We could've folded when they cut our funding
We could've folded when it looked like our 2022 Olympic redemption was being completely derailed
We could've folded when our crew was decimated by injury this year
We could've folded when it looked like we didn't have the financial means to finish the season
But we didn't. We stuck it out. We found the money. We fought. And we succeeded
And this is just the beginning.
