Of the 8 athletes, the most talked about is undoubtedly the women's snowmobile Montre Douglas. In 2008, as a British 100-meter sprinter, Montere Douglas competed in the women's 100 meters at the Beijing Summer Olympics. Douglas began practicing snowmobiling in 2016 and went to the PyeongChang Winter Olympics as a substitute in 2018.

At the Beijing Winter Olympics, Montere Douglas will partner with Mika McNeil to compete in the women's doubles bobsleigh race, while Adele Nicole will accompany the team as a reserve athlete for the women's team.

In the men's event, Brad Hall and Nick Gleason, who have participated in the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics, will once again join forces in the men's double bobsleigh competition, and they will also compete in the men's four-man bobsleigh competition with Greg Carquet and Taylor Lawrence, and Ben Simmons, who has participated in the two-time Winter Olympics, will come to Beijing as a substitute. The British men's snowmobile has won a total of six medals in the World Cup this season and also reached the podium in the test match of the Beijing Winter Olympics.

"We are nearing the end of the season and now all we have to do is give our all at the Olympics. We knew the team had a chance to take the medal home. Hall, 31, said. (Zhao Xuemei)
