Bobsleigh at the Olympics: the final score in four-man bobsleigh

The entire result

Final: Francesco Friedrich can now make history. He would be the first bobsledder in history to win two consecutive gold medals in two-man and four-man bobsleigh. The start fits, then it wobbles slightly. He hits the key points perfectly, and the pace is right too. Francesco Friedrich is Olympic champion in four-man bobsleigh!

Final: Johannes Lochner is now fighting for gold. The advantage over Kripps is large. He can attack fully. The start time is not good, so it won’t work. Now it’s picking up speed, but the pace isn’t too high. This is the fourth running time in the last round and the clear lead. Germany has gold for sure!

Final: Justin Kripps now has the medal in his hands. The starting time is better than that of oats. If he does well, he has bronze. The Canadian is thin with oats, it’s going to be a thriller. He crosses the finish line in six hundredths and wins a medal!

Final: Will Christoph Hafer also win the bronze medal in the foursome? He has to catch up on Kripps by eight hundredths. 4.98 is the start time, the line above fits. He’s taking a gang with him, but he’s still on course. He’s building on Kibermanis, that’s a good sign. Now it’s up to Kripps.

Final: The start time with 4.94 is good. Then he already takes a right-hand barrier at the top, so it won’t work with the attack on the medal. Below the line fits again, Kibermanis takes the lead. What does oats show us now?

Final: So now it’s about the medals. The Latvian Oskars Kibermanis is the first. He is 15 hundredths short of bronze. He can now put pressure on Kripps and Hafer.

Final: The start is extremely important again. Here Friedrich laid the foundation for his leadership. If Lochner still wants to win gold, he has to improve significantly at the start.

Final: Half is through, the train stops. Now there are five more bobsleds, then it’s about the medals.

Final: Six out of 20 bobs are already down, we are slowly approaching the decision.

Final: But only five teams have a chance of winning a medal. Oskars Kibermanis from Latvia, Justin Kripps from Canada and Christoph Hafer fight for bronze, Johannes Lochner and Francesco Friedrich for gold.

Final: So now it’s about the medals. 20 bobs are still at the start, the start will be in reversed order.

After the 3rd run: All medal contenders are at the finish line, three German bobsleighs are fighting for precious metal. Friedrich is back on course for gold, Lochner needs a dream run in the last round. Oats have good bronze options, but also strong competition. We’ll get back to you in the live ticker at 4:20 a.m.

3rd run: Brad Hall from Great Britain is clearly behind. We then see a duel for gold and a three-way battle for bronze.

3rd run: But the Latvian Oskars Kibermanis is still fighting for bronze. He’s only seven hundredths behind Oats. Phew, that’s going to be a thriller later in the last run.

3rd run: After two runs, Christoph Hafer was 17 hundredths behind bronze. Kripps had problems, Hafer took advantage of that. He is only eight hundredths behind bronze.

3rd run: Canada’s Justin Kripps is third after half-time. He can’t match Friedrich’s starting time either. He also loses to Lochner, the two Germans are the measure of all things. 65 hundredths, Kripps continues to lose time.

3rd run: What can Johannes Lochner counter with that? He’s back at the start, we already know that from this track here. The deficit is growing, Friedrich has put in a great run here. Lochner loses 17 hundredths, Friedrich expands.
