Even after a second run, Prince Harry couldn91裸聊视频檛 crack the 100km/h mark as he raced face-first down one of the world91裸聊视频檚 fastest bobsled tracks in Whistler, B.C., aboard a tiny skeleton sled.
91裸聊视频淚91裸聊视频檓 going to go again. I91裸聊视频檓 going to keep going until the sun comes down,91裸聊视频� he joked after his second run on Thursday.
Harry, who topped out at 99 km/h on both runs, was in Whistler with wife Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, to visit Invictus Games athletes taking part in training camps and to promote the Games coming to Vancouver and Whistler next year.
The 2025 games will be the first to feature winter sports, including the skeleton, skiing events and wheelchair curling, but it will also host indoor rowing, sitting volleyball, swimming, wheelchair rugby and wheelchair basketball events as it has previously.
The prince founded the Games for wounded, injured or sick service personnel and veterans after he served in Afghanistan.
Cowbells rang out as the prince did his runs. As he was helped off the track the first time, he said with a smile that 91裸聊视频渆veryone should do this, it should be compulsory.91裸聊视频�
Experienced sliders start at the top of the track, although the prince started at the halfway mark. His first run ended with some bumpy clattering into the sides, but his second was smoother and saw him go further up the exit ramp.
Meghan was waiting at the bottom both times.
91裸聊视频淢eghan, you91裸聊视频檝e got to go,91裸聊视频� someone shouted. 91裸聊视频淣o way,91裸聊视频� she replied.
Before Prince Harry got on the tiny sled he was given a safety briefing, while medics were standing by in case of an accident.
American Ivan Morera, a single-arm amputee who was wounded in a combat zone in Afghanistan, is in Whistler for the training camp and says he is 91裸聊视频渧ery appreciative91裸聊视频� to the prince for giving service members an opportunity to find purpose after injury.
He previously competed in rowing, seated volleyball, archery and field sports at the 2023 Games in Germany, which he says was an 91裸聊视频渋ncredible91裸聊视频� experience.
Though Morera still serves as an active-duty medic, he says he is attending the training camp this week with plans to compete next year in skeleton, nordic skiing and the biathlon.
91裸聊视频淚91裸聊视频檓 continuously recovering from this injury, maybe not physically, but emotionally, mentally,91裸聊视频� he said in an interview. 91裸聊视频淎 big catastrophic event like that affects you, so adaptive sports is my way of dealing with that.91裸聊视频�
Invictus Games Vancouver Whistler 2025 will host about 500 competitors from 23 nations from Feb. 8 to 16, 2025.
Prince Harry and Meghan will be in Vancouver on Friday.
Prince Harry said that he immediately arranged to go to London after his father, King Charles III, called to tell him he had cancer.
91裸聊视频淚 jumped on a plane and went to go see him as soon as I could,91裸聊视频� Harry told the news program 91裸聊视频淕ood Morning America.91裸聊视频� 91裸聊视频淚 love my family. The fact that I was able to get on a plane and go see and spend any time with him, I91裸聊视频檓 grateful for that.91裸聊视频�91裸聊视频�
Harry arrived from California less than 48 hours after Buckingham Palace announced on Feb. 5 that the king had cancer and had begun treatment.
The visit between the monarch and his younger son at Clarence House was relatively brief, as Charles and his wife, Queen Camilla, were seen leaving about an hour later.
The palace has not revealed the type of cancer the 75-year-old king has, saying only that it was discovered during a treatment for an enlarged prostate but isn91裸聊视频檛 prostate cancer.
The Duke of Sussex wouldn91裸聊视频檛 reveal any details about his father91裸聊视频檚 prognosis. 91裸聊视频淭hat stays between me and him,91裸聊视频� he said.
Harry has had a troubled relationship with his family since he quit royal duties in 2020 and moved to Los Angeles with his wife, Meghan, citing what they said were the unbearable intrusions and racist attitudes of the British media. He showed up alone for his father91裸聊视频檚 coronation in May but left as soon as the ceremony ended to return to California for his son91裸聊视频檚 birthday.
Asked if the illness could help reunify his family, Harry, speaking at an Invictus Games event near Vancouver, said, 91裸聊视频淵eah, I91裸聊视频檓 sure.91裸聊视频� He said he has witnessed that type of galvanizing effect among the wounded service members who compete in the games the prince founded in 2014.
91裸聊视频淭hroughout all these families, I see it on a day to day basis,91裸聊视频� he said. 91裸聊视频淵ou know, again, the strength of the family unit coming together.91裸聊视频�
