Team GB is struggling to clinch an Olympic medal in the four-man bobsleigh event in Cortina, currently holding the seventh position after two heats. Brad Hall's initial superb run put the team third, but they slipped down after the second run, losing momentum and leaving them 0.23 seconds shy of the medal positions. The German teams dominate the leaderboard with Johannes Lochner at the helm. Austria faced a crash causing a lengthy delay during the second heat, but the race resumed with GB unable to regain their initial speed.
