Both times Canada has won a gold medal in two man at the Olympics it was a tie.

I think it's much better to share the gold , than to win the silver

Pierre Lueders, who was the pilot of the Canadian sled that tied Italy 20 years ago, witnessed this moment today as coach of the Korean team

But for fans I think it's better to see shared bronze than shared gold (apart from those who specifically like these athletes or just blindly cheer for anyone with the same flag), now we have to wait four years to really have 'the Olympic champion'. Actually, with Zubkov losing the 2014 gold and that one being vacant for now, we'll have a period of eight years without having someone who is the Olympic champion

We can share!  We're a very accommodating country!

Yes , my words specifically for Canadian members here who're upset to share the gold , not sure about Germans but I think they should be the happier side now as this gold was very crucial for them to keep fighting for 1st place , so overall it should be a happy end for many fans around the world , especially of those who don't care much about bobsleigh and like to see those moments happen in Olympics
