Even after a second run, Prince Harry couldn’t crack the 100km/h mark as he raced face-first down one of the world’s fastest bobsled tracks in Whistler, B.C., aboard a tiny skeleton sled.

“I’m going to go again. I’m going to keep going until the sun comes down,” he joked after his second run on Thursday.

Harry, who topped out at 99 km/h on both runs, was in Whistler with wife Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, to visit Invictus Games athletes taking part in training camps and to promote the Games coming to Vancouver and Whistler next year.
