    A bobsled sled from the 18th century, when the sport was the extreme domain of the aristocracy.

        You know - a typical sled with a built-in finish line. Optimized so that participants don’t have to spend a lot of time descending (from political heights).

            Oh, I didn’t delete one of the words when I was deciding which one would fit better. Well, let’s keep it that way. 😅
