He didn't lose the gold, he has been banned for testing positive in 2016.

Nice 1st heat for our team.

 

Top 30 might be in the cards.

4 runs and we end the world championships with a tie for gold  

 

Not that good though because I'm never a fan of people sharing gold, since now you still can't say who really is the champion

Don't get why IBSF refuses to use thousands of the seconds like in luge.

 

Ties are by no means rare in bobsleigh and skeleton.

Bad news for the lugers, curve 9 is not problem at all for bobsledders.

 

Looks like they won't fix it for the Olympics.
