Chris Stokes, president of the local Bobsleigh Federation and part of the historic Olympic bobsleigh team of 1988, is now with the team in Park City, Utah. The team is competing in the first leg of the America's Cup races. Yesterday was the start of the four-man competition and it was 5F.

Exclusive reports from Kayon Stokes are that the team is looking good on the track, and has mastered the art of sledding, and with temperatures dipping to as low as 1F. She told The Gleaner that they were making great slides. Here are some pictures from the competition so far.
