Icebreakers Team meets with H.S.H. Prince Albert II of Monaco in New York City

October 28, 2025

Icebreakers, an upcoming documentary about the pioneering women who formed the first U.S. Women’s Bobsled Team, filmed a segment at the Consulate General of Monaco in New York with a special interview with H.S.H. Prince Albert II of Monaco—a five-time Olympian bobsledder and lifelong advocate for athletes and women in sports. Prince Albert met with members of the original Icebreakers team decades after their time on the track. The Icebreakers fondly remember the Prince and his team as kind, generous, and supportive sportsmen.

Icebreakers documentary tells the untold story of women athletes who entered a male- dominated sport with no experience and no funding—only fearless resolve. Their unlikely rise shattered expectations when Jill Bakken and Vonetta Flowers achieved a milestone by winning the first-ever Olympic gold medal in the sport of women’s bobsled. Bakken, the youngest driver in bobsledding history, started her career at just 16. ©
