STUDENTS gave Olympic silver medallist Jackie Davies a bit of push to help her bobsleigh to some cool runnings at a college.
The bobsleigher visited Chichester College as part of a British Bobsleigh Association project to promote and market the sport.
She took along the two-man bobsleigh of Robin Dixon and Anthony Nash, in which they won an Olympic gold medal in Austria in 1964, which is on display at the college reception.
Bobsleigh team athletes have been talking to students about how they can get involved in the sport, while media students have selected individual members of the British Bobsleigh Team to promote and market, to help the team gain sponsorship.
The students will get a taste of PR, marketing and advertising skills to help them in their future careers.
