BEIJING, Feb. 14 (Xinhua) -- In July 2018, the International Olympic Committee decided to add seven medal events to Beijing 2022.
Today let's take a look at women's monobob of bobsleigh.
Bobsledding has been a part of the Olympic Winter Games since the inaugural edition in 1924, but it was not until 2002 that women took part. The monobob, featuring a lone athlete who pushes and also drives, will be contested only by women.
