During practice at the Beijing Winter Olympics, the Brazilian two-man bobsled team slipped, but not in the best of ways.
As they were about to set off on the track at the National Sliding Sports Center in Yanqing, the two Brazilians had a hard time mastering their bobsleigh. Despite good propulsion, Edson Ricardo Martins, the pusher, slipped twice, preventing Edson Luques Bindilatti, the pilot, from entering the machine properly.

However, this misadventure had no consequences for the Brazilian crew. Indeed, it was just a practice round.
The two-man bobsleigh events will take place on February 14 and 15.
