Cross-country skiing requires massive endurance at 35 km/h, but it barely registers compared to the sliding track. At 150 km/h, the sheer weight and carbon-fiber aerodynamics of a Bobsleigh make it the undisputed fastest event of the Winter Games. Highway speed limits wouldn't even be legal for the top four sports shown here. #education source
