[Scan-DC] Antennas on two-man bobsleds at the Olympics

[Dan Blasberg]

I’m guessing video transmission to for the coaches to watch the run in real time and make adjustments on the next run, perhaps even collect analytics on the run.

The antenna is more or less directly above the feet of the lead man in the sled. It is about three inches long. What data are being sent or received or collected? The athletes don't have time to talk on a radio, and does it matter what the speed is?
