That is interesting. On the Olympics program on TV when they do the two-man, they called it bobsleigh, then last night on the 4 man they call it bobsled. I wonder what the difference is, if there is any. This is the first Olympics I recall it being referred to as bobsleigh. Odd, eh?

There is no difference between bobsleigh and bobsled. That was one of the questions that was posed on the Today Show and the answer they gave was that the other countries call it bobsleigh while the Americans call it bobsled. I don't get it though. I never heard it called bobsleigh until this year.
