Flavor Flav: Bobsled Hype Man at 67 MPH | Team USA's Coolest Runnings
Flavor Flav BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.
Flavor Flav is once again grabbing national headlines just days ago after being announced as the official sponsor and hype man for the USA Bobsled and Skeleton team as they head into the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan-Cortina. According to USA Bobsled/Skeleton, the rap icon and Public Enemy founder didn’t just lend his name—he showed up in Park City, Utah to hurl himself down the Olympic bobsled track, hitting an impressive 67 miles per hour on his second run. Team officials say his energy was infectious, with athletes describing him as the coolest and most adventurous man they’ve met, and at least one skeleton racer noting how Flav turned a normally reserved group into a room-full of high fives and hugs. His now-signature line for the bobsled world Coolest Runnings—riffing on Cool Runnings—has been picked up by the team and the media alike.
Flav’s presence extended beyond the track: he brought friends from Maroon 5 for a day of bobsledding before joining them at their Salt Lake City concert, which he then took some of the USA athletes to as a surprise. The official party line from USABS CEO Aron McGuire is that Flav is, quote, the embodiment of grit, dedication, and pride—a theme that seems consistent, given that just last summer he played official hype man for the U.S. Women’s Water Polo Team at the Paris Olympics and paid the rent of an Olympic discus thrower after seeing her post about financial difficulties online, alongside Alexis Ohanian, Serena Williams’ husband, per Reuters.
His involvement in the world of sports hype is not new—he just recently completed a world tour with Public Enemy and Guns N’ Roses and appeared at sports celebrity events like the Super Bowl NFL Honors and even dumped mayo on a winning coach at the Duke’s Mayo Bowl last year. Social media is all over his new role, with @FlavorFlav posting celebratory videos in the bobsled and announcing himself as the new official sponsor and hype man, logging thousands of likes and comments from fans and Olympians alike.
Flav appears committed to being present on the ground in Milan-Cortina for the entire Olympic Games, with plans to join the team for more runs post-Games in Park City. At 66, Flavor Flav’s relentless enthusiasm and connection with younger athletes could give Team USA a morale boost that’s the stuff of Olympic legend. There are currently no credible negative rumors or controversies attached to his recent activities—if anything, the hype is trending up. Public Enemy fans and sports media alike are calling this Flav’s latest reinvention, but what’s clear is that, for now, he remains a front-page energy source for team USA.
