2010 Canada 50-cent Olympic Mascot Collector Card - Bobsleigh

2010 Canada 50-cent Olympic Mascot Collector Card - Bobsleigh

In 1911, Canada's first bobsleigh run was built at Quebec by Swiss ski instructor Emile Cochand, who was also the first to establish the country's ski resort. Fast forward to the late 1950's and the Canadian bobsledders competed internationally and in the mid-1980's Canadian bobsleigh athletes began a steady ascent in the international scene.

Putting these factors into consideration, bobsleigh is a sport that--in one way or another--defines Canada. What better way to instill this thought at a young age with this 2010 50 cent Olympic mascot collector card featuring the Vancouver Winter Olympic mascots Quaitchi and Miga going down a bobsleigh course.
