Bobsleigh training results from yesterday look really worrying from a British perspective. I know they've had some injuries and are being cautious of pushing too hard but will Hall actually be learning anything when the sled will be moving much faster in the competition? Won't his timing be off? This is on top of the fact the 2-man didn't really reflect that well on his driving ability as they were sliding all over the place. I know the actual sled isn't the quality of the German and American sleds, but I thought it was the next best?
