Glasgow siblings create ‘home Olympics’ bobsleigh event on the stairs with cardboard

A Glaswegian treated his family to a front row seat at a spoof Winter Olympics - but his sister was having none of it.

A hilarious video of a Andrew Taylor, who turned his staircase into a makeshift bobsleigh slope, has gone viral - notching up 20,400 views in a few hours.

Sister Lucy Taylor shot the video of her sibling shooting down the stairs using cardboard boxes as a homemade sledge.

In the video, you can hear Lucy struggling to keep herself from laughing as her brother flies down the staircase.

“That sounded sore!” Lucy, from Glasgow, can be heard saying as Andrew lands at the bottom of the stairs with a thud.

Lucy then uploaded the footage to Twitter, along with the caption, “Brother doing Bobsleigh in Glasgow #BBCOlympics”.

In lieu of a Cool Runnings style suit Andrew donned a pair of slippers and Adidas tee-shirt for the spoof event - so let’s blame is crash landing on the wrong equipment!
