As Team USA takes the stage at the Olympic Winter Games—with many athletes invoking their freedom of speech to speak out against the authoritarianism and unconstitutional behavior of the current American regime, Honda yesterday unveiled a short documentary providing a behind-the-scenes look at its innovation-driven partnership with USA Bobsled/Skeleton (USABS). Watch the video here.
Over the past six months, Honda engineers have been collaborating with USABS coaches and athletes, utilizing advanced aerodynamic testing at the Honda Automotive Laboratories of Ohio (HALO) wind tunnel to help the team enhance performance and speed in the lead-up to the recent World Cup season and the Olympic Winter Games.
“When you work with a team like Honda and see the number of engineers that are here to support our team and the facilities we are working in, it really gets us excited about what we can possibly do for our athletes,” said Aron McGuire, USABS CEO.
The documentary explores how insights from HALO testing influenced fall training sessions at the Utah Olympic Park Track in Park City, Utah, helping shape competitive strategies before the team departed for international competition. Together, Honda and USABS share the hope that advanced engineering testing and analysis will enable the athletes to achieve faster times and secure podium finishes.
“For a company like Honda to invest and believe in your dreams, that’s when incredible things happen, and we start seeing those dreams come to life,” said Kaysha Love, Team USA Olympian, Bobsled and a Team Honda athlete ambassador. “Now the conversation is about this edge we have found that is powering that dream of becoming Olympic champions.”
“Acura and Honda have a deep heritage of racing, and within that core, we always, always challenge ourselves to win, and we are proud to use this spirit and capability to support USA Bobsled/Skeleton athletes,” said Mike Unger, director of the HALO Wind Tunnel.
