Wow that's accurate. They look super cool.

[–] GreenMario@lemm.ee 54 points 2 years ago

Yeah, absolutely.

Or like they’re actually the Wakanda bobsled team.

Feel the rhythm! Feel the rhyme! Get on up, it's bobsled time!

They look like Netrunners from cyberpunk

Is there a Badass Pic Award wherever they have to compete?

[–] cybermass@lemmy.ca 9 points 2 years ago

It's crazy to me that Nigeria has a bobsledding team, where would they practice?

Is weight an advantage or a disadvantage in bobsledding?

[–] ImpossibilityBox@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Weight is an advantage. While a heavier sled is harder to accelerate they build up more speed over the course of the run.

The minimum weight for the sled is 170kg. The maximum weight for sled and athletes combined is 390kg (Men) and 340kg (Women)

[–] CassowaryTom@lemmy.one 2 points 2 years ago

Thanks for looking that up for me. Do you have anything to add?

[–] CassowaryTom@lemmy.one 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Nope. I'm sorry. That was nasty. Reflective of my mood, not you. You did add to the conversation. And I apologize.

[–] ImpossibilityBox@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

No worries!

[–] ActuallyRuben@actuallyruben.nl 7 points 2 years ago

Honestly, it's quite likely they really never lost a real life lightcycle race

They look like the bad girl squad in Sayonara Wild Hearts

Didn't Daft Punk break up a year ago?

[–] runner_g@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Break up, no. Retire, yes :(

[–] pinkdrunkenelephants@lemmy.cafe 2 points 2 years ago

Well, they had a good long run and I hope they enjoy theur retirement. I hope they're relaxing on a beach somewhere

this picture is literally perfect except that they're against a white background. whose idea was that. turn that sh*t black, throw in some neon green edge lighting, and those three could be on a movie poster
