An iconic Olympic sport, bobsleigh sees athletes race down an icy track of twists and turns in a high-powered sled to clinch gold.
The sport has been contested at every Winter Games apart from Squaw Valley 1960, while the two-man competition was introduced at Lake Placid 1932 and women made their debut at Salt Lake City 2002.
Team GB have won five bobsleigh medals and Milano Cortina 2026 presents a new opportunity to silverware with Team Hall and Team Nicoll in the sled.
So without further ado, here is your bobsleigh squad for the 2026 Olympic Winter Games:
DOB: 16/11/1990
Hometown: Crawley
Olympic record: PyeongChang 2018, Beijing 2022
The leader and main man of Team Hall, the Crawley native has always been a gifted all-round sportsman.
At one stage Brad Hall looked set to follow in the footsteps of another of Crawley’s favourite sons, Daley Thompson, by excelling in decathlon.
A Talent ID session led him first to skeleton, then bobsleigh, in which he has excelled as the pilot in Britain’s two-man and four-man teams in recent years.
Hall, who was taught maths by comedian Romesh Ranganathan as a child, made his Olympic debut at PyeongChang 2018 before a best finish of sixth place in the four-man at Beijing 2022.
Since then, Hall has piloted his team to several slices of history. He led his team to the country's first World Championship four-man medal since 1939 when he won silver in St Moritz in 2023 and piloted the same crew to Great Britain's first-ever European four-man title in Altenberg earlier that year.
In 2025, the same crew won world bronze in Lake Placid, while he won both two-man and four-man bronze medals at the European Championships in Lillehammer.
DOB: 13/08/1999
Hometown: Thanet
Olympic record: Beijing 2022
Taylor Lawrence began his bobsleigh adventure in 2019 and it’s fair to say he hit the ground running – by January 2020, he was making his World Cup bow in Brad Hall’s four-man team.
The brakeman, who had never previously pushed the side handle prior to his debut in Winterberg, stayed on board for the remainder of the season and went on to claim three World Cup silvers in the 2021/22 World Cup campaign.
Lawrence made his Olympic debut in Beijing and has been part of the history-making team in recent years.
His exposure to the sport came via the military, where Lawrence has served as a Royal Marine Commando since 2016 and enjoyed plenty of sporting success.
The Kent native has won the Navy Cup football competition as well as representing the Royal Marines rugby team against their American counterparts during their successful Virginia Gauntlet Trophy campaign in 2019.
DOB: 14/11/1989
Hometown: Redhill
Olympic record: PyeongChang 2018, Beijing 2022
Greg Cackett is a man on multiple missions – winning an Olympic medal and bringing the sport of bobsleigh to a wider audience being chief among them.
Content creator Cackett runs online platform ‘The Brakeman’, which aims to bring people behind the scenes of elite bobsleigh while highlighting the talent and character of those who excel in the thrill-seeking sport.
That has naturally brought him closer to his rivals away from the ice but did little to dampen his determination to outdo them, making World Cup, world and European history.
A former sprinter who clocked a 10.24s personal best in the 100m before suffering from injury problems, Cackett made his Olympic debut in 2018 as he finished 17th in the four-man alongside Hall, Joel Fearon and Nick Gleeson.
Having taken a brief break from the sport to try track cycling, Cackett was back for a second Olympic Winter Games in Beijing where he joined Hall, Gleeson and Taylor Lawrence to finish sixth.
DOB: 13/06/1997
Hometown: Batley
Olympic record: NA
Growing up as a promising sprinter, it would have been reasonable to assume Leon Greenwood’s Olympic bow would have come in the summer.
An ankle injury ended those ambitions but Greenwood has instead found his way to the summit as part of Great Britain’s bobsleigh team.
He became part of the elite programme in 2022 and has since earned World Championship silver and European Championship bronze as the brakeman in Brad Hall’s four-man crew.
Greenwood, who admits Cool Runnings is among his favourite films, is a personal trainer away from the sled and appeared in Team GB’s 2025 Black History Month series alongside Montell Douglas.
The travelling reserve for the men's team will be Alex Cartagena.
DOB: 28/09/1996
Hometown: Welshpool
Olympic record: NA
A true sporting all-rounder, three-time national shot put champion Adele Nicoll will make her Olympic debut in bobsleigh in Milano Cortina 2026.
The roots of her journey can be traced to a lockdown run in a Cardiff park, which attracted the attention of Mica McNeill, who invited her to try the sport.
The pair teamed up for Britain’s first two-woman World Cup medal for 13 years but Nicoll, who lost three stone to adapt to her new sport, was selected as a reserve for the 2022 Olympic Winter Games, prompting a change of role from brakewoman to pilot.
Four years on, she is set to grace the biggest stage while she is still fighting on multiple fronts and hopes to represent Wales in the shot put at the 2026 Commonwealth Games.
DOB: 20/02/1991
Hometown: Stoke-on-Trent
Olympic record: Beijing 2008, Tokyo 2020
Two-time summer Olympian Ashleigh Nelson will make her Winter Olympic Games bow at Milano Cortina 2026.
Having appeared at Beijing 2008 and Tokyo 2020 as a sprinter, Nelson switched to bobsleigh in the 2024/25 off season following an Instagram message from Adele Nicoll.
The pair teamed up at the 2025 World Championships – just Nelson’s third competitive bobsleigh event – and will now do so again on the Olympic stage.
Nelson comes from a sporting family – her brother Alexander was also an international sprinter who joined her in Team GB’s Beijing 2008 squad, while cousin Curtis is a professional footballer currently with Derby County.
The travelling reserve for the women's team will be Kya Placide.
