Para-Bobsled found its start in the early 2000s with its first World Cup event in 2014-2015. As of right now, the World Cup hosts only one category of athletes: a seated category for athletes that have spinal cord injuries, above-the-knee amputations, and other injuries which medically fit that classification. The U.S. team has a large contingent of lower limb amputees due to warrior programs and currently, they do not fit into that classification.

The ESWG event in February is a first of its kind in that we are hosting a "push" event for athletes that currently do not classify into the World Cup seated category.
