Jason and Kylie Kelce are at the 2026 Milano Cortina Winter Olympics. On Monday, they watched the U.S. women’s hockey team beat Sweden 5-0, where they supported Laila Edwards, a forward who hails from the same Ohio town that Jason and Travis Kelce grew up in. They’ve also both been sharing Olympics-based content on YouTube and social media, including some of the fun training stuff they did with the US teams in the run-up to the games. A few weeks ago, they both tried their hand at curling while Kylie, who is a part of NBC’s Milano Cortina Creator Collective, got a one-on-one snowboarding lesson from Jamie Anderson in Aspen, CO.
For his part, Jason, who is not a part of the Creator Collective, joined the US bobsled team in Park City, UT for a bobsledding lesson and then posted a video of the experience. If you’ve ever wanted to see Jason Kelce try to fit into a bobsled and then nearly crap his pants in both terror and excitement during a run, then today is your lucky day. You can watch the full YouTube video here, but I’ll also embed it below.
Jason, wanting to see if he has “what to takes to sled the bobs,” shared a long video on his YouTube channel from the lesson with Team USA in Park City, Utah and a shorter clip on social media before adding in a few hilarious afterthoughts about the experience.
“For those of you wondering what it feels like to bobsled, these were my internal thoughts going down the track: I thought this would be like a fun roller coaster, but man was I wrong,” he said. “It started out quiet and smooth, but as we continued to pick up speed the intensity got higher and higher. The turns bounced my shoulders and head like I was back on a football field, the noise of the sled got louder and louder, rattling as if the whole thing was falling apart.”
Jason said the bobsled went “faster and faster” until it finally “topped out in turn eight at 84 miles an hour,” and he joked that his “280 pound body was being multiplied by 5 Gs and it felt like 1,400 pounds was pushing me into the bottom of the sled.”
He also said metal rails he was sitting on were “bruising my hips” during the run. “At that point, it was so loud I could no longer hear my own screams, which I’m not sure I was even producing because the air had been squeezed out of my body.”
The Super Bowl champ added that he “heard the relieving sound of the brakes” when he was wondering “how much more of it I could take.”
At one point in the video, Jason, who wore a helmet featuring a photo of his brother Travis Kelce on the bobsled, was asked how confident he felt before he went down the track in the bobsled.
“How confident? I feel negative confident right now,” he said as he’s strapped on his gloves.
He also noted that he thought the bobsled would be “way wider” and dropped a couple of expletives during the lesson.
I have to give Jason mad props for doing this. You could see how nervous he was progressively getting in the lead up to the run. Colin Jost also tried bobsledding in a segment for NBC. He didn’t train with the team, though, but instead went to the site of the 1980 Olympics bobsled track in Lake Placid, NY. His experience was pretty much the same as Jason’s and he called it the “scariest experience of his life.” I’m grateful for the body cams and microphones that captured both of their live reactions because they were both very entertaining.
My family and I watched some of the skeleton races this weekend. Since they’re all held on the same track, we started talking about how if we absolutely had to pick one sport to try, would it be the bobsled, the skeleton, where you go head-first, or the luge, which you do on your back? Mr. Rosie and I both said the bobsled, but my crazy kids were split between the skeleton and luge. I think after watching Jason and Colin, I probably made the right choice but only because I’d have someone doing it with me.
Here’s the video of Jason’s bobsled adventure:
Here’s a link to Colin’s segment. He also talks about “Crotchgate,” also known as “Penisgate” or “Inflategate.” If you aren’t familiar with this scandal, it involves some ski jumpers being accused of shooting hyaluronic acid into their genitals to increase the surface areas of their suits when they’re being fitted for them, which allegedly makes them go further. Man, men really will use any excuse to make their junk look better.
They were showing… bobsledding? skeleton? Can’t remember which in the current Olympics with a camera following the sled. I had to turn the TV off, that experience freaked me out and I was just sitting in a comfy chair watching it!
We were watching the skeleton event and I had to leave the room it was so terrifying to me. Absolutely no way in hell am I going headfirst on a sled down an icy track. I just kept seeing horrible spinal injuries. I love that Jason and Colin are showing how much courage, strength and athleticism is involved in these winter sports.
I liked how they showed how Jason prepped to do the bobsled. How they wondered if he would even be able to fit into the sled–how to jump in the sled took practice! I also liked his comments afterwards when he said he thought it would be like a roller coaster ride and it was NOT. And how he was so thankful it was the end of the run because he was wondering how more he could take–apparently all that g-force is pretty daunting. But he did say that with his body weight the g-force made it 1400 lbs of pressure on him. Yikes!
