'' The love of the sport has blossomed since the beginning,'' tant is that the Canadian has even won his race debut'' d.
Hollingsworth, also in the video that we propose, pointed out how difficult it is in the skeleton to be able to perform the so-called perfect race, as during a descent took over several factors, such as temperature and condition of the ice, which have a positive or negative impact on final performance.
