‘The Freeze’ recruited for Winter Olympic sport

“The Freeze” on ice? USA Bobsled and Skeleton wants to see it.

Nigel Talton, aka “Beat the Freeze” from Atlanta Braves in-game promotions, took part in a USA Bobsled and Skeleton off-ice camp in the summer and will be invited back for a November camp to get on a skeleton sled, according to TeamUSA.org.

“If I have the chance to make (an Olympic team) it will be great, but for right now I’m just getting my feet wet, getting a foot in the door and learning the sport,” Talton said, according to the website.
