Israel national bobsleigh team

The Israeli Bobsled and Skeleton Team (Hebrew: נבחרת ישראל במזחלות קרח) is the official bobsleigh and skeleton team of Israel. The team is the competitive wing of Bobsled/Skeleton Israel (BSI, formerly Israeli Bobsleigh and Skeleton Federation (IBSF)), which Aaron Zeff, former National Football League player John Frank, and David Greaves founded in 2002.[1]

The team is currently represented in bobsleigh by teams piloted by Dave Nicholls, Olympian AJ Edelman, and to-be-announced female teams[2] and in skeleton by Georgina Cohen, Joel Seligstein, and Jared Firestone.

Bobsled and Skeleton are run under the same international federation, the IBSF (International Bobsled and Skeleton Federation, formerly known as FIBT). Therefore, BSI ministers both the bobsled and skeleton teams.

The team qualified for the 2018 Olympic Games, in the sport of skeleton and were represented by AJ Edelman.
