+++ 3.13 p.m.: The last pilot is at the start. Laura Nolte has a huge lead. But she can’t afford to make any serious mistakes. Fingers crossed!
+++ 3:12 p.m .: The lead is growing, Jamanka goes at least to silver here! Very strong!
+++ 3.11 p.m.: Jamaica is getting ready. Can she get a medal here? The lead seems comfortable.
+++ 3.10 p.m.: It’s about the medals. Meyers Taylor from the USA submits. She maintains her lead, takes the lead and is assured of bronze.
+++ 3:08 p.m.: Be Bruin needs to step up now if she wants to maintain her fourth place. She doesn’t make it, Kalicki makes up a rank.
+++ 15.06: With Kim Kalicki it is now the turn of the first German. Can she take the lead? Yes, she shows an excellent run. This is an attack on the Canadian in front of her.
+++ 3:03 p.m.: Now the big Humphries is at the start, but has no chance of a medal. Her drive is not convincing, she falls behind Hasler.
+++ 3:01 p.m.: Hasler from Switzerland is able to defend her seventh place and temporarily takes the lead. Six bobs are still up.
+++ 2:59 p.m.: Now it’s Appiah’s turn, who fell in the third round. This time she copes better and gets through. She leads and finishes at least eighth.
+++ 2:56 p.m.: The Austrian Beierl, 9th after the first three rounds, is the next to start. She cannot maintain her rank and falls back one position.
+++ 2.50 p.m.: The tension is slowly rising. Eleven bobs are still up. The first German in the last round is Kalicki, who goes into the ice channel as the fifth last.
+++ 2.42 p.m.: The first pilots are through. A Chinese bob is next in the ice channel, but Ying falls behind the French bob.
+++ 2.36 p.m.: In principle, only the first three pilots have a chance of winning a medal. The bobsleds in fourth and fifth place can only intervene in the battle for precious metals if the athletes in front of them make bad mistakes.
+++ 2.32 p.m.: Incidentally, the start in the last run is in reverse order of the classification. So Laura Nolte is the last pilot to enter Beijing’s ice track.

+++ 1:28 p.m.: Those were the first ten bobs after the first two runs. We’ll get back to you when the last run continues at 2:30 p.m. Laura Nolte is clearly on course for gold and Mariama Jamanka has secured second place. It looks like a one-two for Team Germany.

+++ 1:23 p.m.: Next up is a Russian bob. Sergeeva is on the track, over three seconds behind at the finish. These are worlds in the sport of bobsleigh.
+++ 1:17 p.m .: Fall at Appiah from Canada, who loses control of her bob shortly before the finish and slips sideways through the ice channel. However, both drivers get out of their bobsleigh independently and appear to be unhurt. Take a deep breath!
+++ 1.15 p.m.: The Swiss Hasler is more than two seconds behind and sorts herself far behind. No pilot will be able to intervene from behind in the fight for the medals, the time intervals are too big for that.
+++ 1:12 p.m .: Kim Kalicki now wants to keep her chances of a medal alive. But for that she needs a perfect ride. But it’s not, the race to catch up has stopped abruptly, the dream of precious metal is over.
+++ 1.10 p.m.: Humphries from the USA must now attack to still have a chance at precious metal. But she makes a big mistake and thus misses all possibilities for bronze.
+++ 1:08 p.m.: De Bruin of Canada, fourth after the first two heats, falls far behind. The medals seem to be almost out of reach for them.
+++ 1:06 p.m.: Meyers Taylor from the USA with a new start record and she is now taking risks in the ice channel. She doesn’t have the pace of the German bobsleigh and the gap is growing. Third place, some way behind gold and silver.
+++ 1:04 p.m .: Now it applies to Mariama Jamanka, who takes a gang with her after the second turn. But she takes curve six perfectly, the pace suits her. She falls a little further behind Laura Nolte, but the journey was very good.
+++ 1:02 p.m .: Nolte has started and masters the first curves well. That looks like a round ride and it’s a track record at the end. A furious start for Team Germany. Now it’s time to wait and see what the competition is up to.
+++ 1 p.m.: Since she is the leader after the first day, Laura Nolte starts the third round. Can she set another top time? Yesterday she managed two excellent runs.

Olympia 2022: German bobsleds fight for gold
“I knew the lead was in. We’ve shown all season that we’re up there. I’ve always done well on the track. I was still super excited because I hadn’t made it in the monobob competition. You can’t be more excited,” said Nolte to the TV station ZDF after the first two runs. Second-placed Jamanka is in full attack mode: “The track is technically demanding. That’s why we’re not going to see four perfect runs from one person here.”
Laura Nolte showed unbelievably fast rides in the first two runs. After a track record of 1:01.04 minutes in the first run, the 23-year-old reduced the best time to 1:01.01 minutes in the second attempt – although she had just about managed to get into the sled at the start. After the first round, Nolte’s lead was only 0.06 seconds, so she was able to extend her lead.
Olympia 2022: Nolte’s leadership is immense
Both German pilots made mistakes through the ice channel, but it cost them only a little time. It is striking that the material from Team Germany is doing extremely well. The bob forgives one or the other mistake without directly losing time.
The American Elana Meyers Taylor is in third place after the first runs, but she is already 0.74 seconds behind. The only German bobsled outside the medal ranks is Kim Kalicki’s. She is sixth, 1.34 seconds behind her teammate Nolte. The woman from Wiesbaden is 0.6 seconds short of bronze. “If they slip up in front of us, third place is still possible with two very good runs,” she says, but she doesn’t admit defeat yet.
