Bobsleigh Skeleton Australia is the governing body for the sports of bobsleigh and skeleton in Australia. Australians have been active in ice sliding sports since the early days. Australian student George Robertson came equal first in the first international Luge race held in Davos, Switzerland in 1883. During the 1930s Australian Frederick McEvoy competed with the Great Britain team in bobsleigh to win several Olympic and World Championship medals. This early success wavered after World War Two. When Australians started traveling to Europe in the early 1970s some thrill-seekers were exposed to the sports of bobsleigh and skeleton. Leading the way for the new wave of Australians becoming interested in the sport was Philip Morgan Giles. Morgan Giles piloted the first Australian team to compete at an FIBT world championship in 2-man bobsleigh in 1974. More information...
