That is the first one we’ve seen in the race.

“Nick giving Brad a big hug. Don’t worry mate, it happens. It’s racing, that’s what it is.

This is not gently driving down the track, this is 75mph, absolutely on the ragged edge." Remarkably, despite their unusual finish, their time was only 0.17 seconds slower than they had managed in the second run on Monday. They are still expected to qualify for the fourth and final run. The two-man bobsleigh was hyped as one of Team GB’s best medal hopes ahead of the Games.
