With Turin Olympics Andrus Veerpalu became double Olympic champion since he placed 1st in the same event in 2002 at the Salt Lake City Olympic Games. Winter sports made their Olympic debut at the Summer Games in London in 1908. Figure skating competitions were organised for men, women and pairs. The experience was repeated at the Antwerp Games in 1920, along with an ice hockey tournament. In Chamonix in 1924, the winter sports finally had their own Games. Six sports were on the programme: bobsleigh, curling, ice hockey, skating, Nordic skiing (cross-country) and the military patrol race. The number of sports at the Winter Games has remained quite stable over the years. However, the number of events has increased considerably. At the Salt Lake City Games in 2002, there were seven sports biathlon, bobsleigh, curling, ice hockey, luge, skating and skiing and a total of 78 events on the programme. The three major attractions on the Winter Games
Nüüdisaegse bobiga saernaneva kelgu ehitas sveitslane C. Matis (ka Mattys, Mathias) 1891. aastal. Sveitslane Rösinger konstrueeris 1903. aastal kelgule rooli ja piduri. 1927. aastal ehitas sveitslane Fritz Feierabend esimese teraskelgu. Esimene bobirada pikkusega 1610 meetrit ehitati 1902. aastal Sankt Moritzis (varem sõideti mägiteedel ja kelguradadel). 1923. aastal asutati Pariisis Rahvusvaheline Bobisõiduföderatsioon FIBT (prantsuse keeles Fédération Internationale de Bobsleigh et de Tobogganind), president on Robert H. Storey (Kanada). Ühendusse FIBT kuulub 55 riiki. Olümpiamängude kavva on bobisõit kuulunud 1924. aasta esimestest taliolümpiamängudest alates. 1924. ja 1928. aastal võisteldi nelja- ja viiebobidel, klasse eraldamata, võistlus nelja- ja kahebobidel on kavas 1932. aastast alates. Ainus kord jäid bobisõiduvõistlused pidamata 1960. asta Squaw Velley´s (USA), sest seal ei olnud bobirada. Maailmameistrivõistlusi on korraldatud 1924. ja 1928
