British Army chief takes on white-knuckle bobsleigh run

Watch: Chief of the General Staff General Sir Patrick Sanders gets a run in a four-man bobsleigh in Lillehammer.

Chief of the General Staff General Sir Patrick Sanders has been given a hair-raising run down an Olympic bobsleigh track in Norway.

Gen Sanders, who is also President of UKAF Winter Sports Association, hurled down a bobsleigh run during a visit to the Inter Services Ice Sports Championships which took place in Lillehammer, Norway. 

He had the chance to experience what being a bobsleigh athlete is like when he was given the run down Lillehammer's Olympic Bobsleigh, Skeleton and Luge track in a four-man bobsleigh.

The Inter Services Ice Sports Championships took place last week, where athletes from across the services took part in luge, skeleton and bobsleigh events.
