(Winnipeg Sun) Paul Friesen - Canadian David Greaves teamed up with Americans Aaron Zeff and John Frank to form the first Israeli bobsled team. Their goal is to qualify for the 2006 Winter Olympics by becoming one of the top-30 crews in the world. Team Israel has worked its way up to 34th place. Greaves recalled the opening ceremonies of the world championship in historic Berchtesgaden, Germany, in February. "That was a Nazi stronghold. Here comes a little kid walking down the aisle with an Israeli flag, and there was a big cheer and they played the Israeli national anthem. I still get chills."
