The 2010 U.S. Four-Man Bobsled Team, comprised of pilot Steve Holcomb and push athletes Justin Olsen, Steve Mesler, and Curt Tomasevicz, has officially been inducted into the U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Hall of Fame, Class of 2025.

Their historic victory at the Vancouver Winter Olympics ended a 62-year drought for Team USA, securing the country’s first Olympic title in the four-man event since 1948. Racing in the iconic black sled nicknamed the “Night Train,” they edged out the favored German team by just 0.38 seconds to win gold.

Their team became a symbol of American strength and innovation. Built with NASCAR-inspired technology and advanced materials, it was considered the fastest sled in the world at the time.

Each athlete brought something unique to the team. Together, they ushered in a new era of U.S. bobsledding, and now, they are forever honored in the U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Hall of Fame.

With the 2026 Winter Olympics less than 200 days away and the World Cup, Europe Cup, and North American Cup racing circuits beginning months before that, USA Bobsled and Skeleton athletes are deep in training for the upcoming sliding season.
