Brazilian bobsledder Eric Maleson won’t be piloting a bobsled in next month’s Olympics. But he will be headed to Turin. Maleson is the president of the Brazilian Ice Sports Federation, managing the nation’s Olympic hopefuls in bobsledding, luge, skeleton sled, curling, skating and ice hockey.
The only Brazilian competitors in the Turin Olympics will be the members of the four man bobsled team. They are hoping to improve on the team’s 27th finish at the Salt Lake City Olympics. While 27th may not sound like anything to write home about, it was quite impressive for a first Olympic appearance.
