Medals update: Bobsleigh legend Francesco Friedrich slides to second gold of Beijing 2022 in four-man final

The legend of German bobsleigh star Francesco Friedrich continues after a stunning performance saw him win his second bobsleigh title of Beijing 2022 and fourth in total at the Olympic Winter Games.

Friedrich, piloting a German sled alongside Thorsten Margis, Candy Bauer and Alexander Schueller, dominated the competition setting a blazing time of 3:54.30 to take the gold.

Compatriot Johannes Lochner made it a German 1-2 with his second silver of the Games, with Justin Kripps of Canada taking bronze.

Germany's Friedrich has 10 world titles to his name, seven in the two-man and three in the four-man competition. He took that form into the Olympic competition where he has cemented his place as one of the greatest practitioners of the sport the world has ever seen.
