List of world champions in bobsleigh

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The list of world champions in bobsleigh shows all athletes placed in the first three places at world championships in bobsleigh . For men, world championships have been held in big bobsleigh since 1930 and in two-man bobsleigh since 1931. There have been women's competitions in small bobsleigh since 2000. In 2007, a team competition for bobsleigh and skeleton athletes was added.

The most successful athlete is the Italian Eugenio Monti , who won nine gold and one silver medals and thus contributed to half of all gold medals won by Italy. If you include the team races, Francesco Friedrich from Germany has been the most successful bobsleigh athlete at world championships since 2019, with ten gold and two silver. With 16 medals as a pusher, Kevin Kuske won the most world championship medals, including seven titles. The most successful nation for both men and women is Germany, which can look back on a long bobsleigh tradition and which celebrated great successes in both countries during the time when Germany was divided. So far, German athletes have won 70 gold medals and a total of 175 medals. Just like the second most successful nation, Switzerland, the country of origin of bobsleigh, Germany has been at the forefront of the sport from the beginning of the World Championships. Bobsleigh was mainly invented by British holidaymakers in Switzerland, but apart from the early years, British bobsleighs could not place themselves in the top for a long time, only since about the third millennium have the British increasingly returned to the top, especially among women . Apart from the 1950s and 1960s, the USA initially had only few successes, but has been catching up massively internationally since the mid-1990s. Similar to Russia, which as the Soviet Union, mostly represented by Latvian athletes, had only few successes. Latvian athletes were able to increase their successes after independence in 1990. Since the construction of the tracks in Paramonowo and Sochi in particular , Russian athletes have benefited from the possibilities of two tracks, similar to Canadian and US bobsleigh athletes. The success of German athletes is based on government funding, technical sledging facilities such as the FES, and above all on the training opportunities on the three German bobsleigh runs in Altenberg , Königssee and Winterberg .

Most successful athletes

  • Placement: Indicates the order of the athletes. This is determined by the number of gold medals. If the number is the same, the silver medals are compared and then the bronze medals won.
  • Name: gives the name of the athlete.
  • Country: Name the country for which the athlete started.
  • By: The year the athlete won the first medal.
  • Until: The year in which the athlete won the last medal.
  • Gold: states the number of gold medals won.
  • Silver: states the number of silver medals won.
  • Bronze: states the number of bronze medals won.
  • Total: states the number of all medals won.
  • Status: states whether the athlete is a pilot (P) or a pusher or brakeman (A).
  • Team medals are only counted for bobsledders.
  • For the sake of clarity, only men with at least three wins and women with at least one gold medal are listed. This also applies to the separate lists according to status. Medals from the team competition do not count towards the statistics of the two-man races.
