Latvian bobsledder Kalenda expresses satisfaction with his training performance, aiming for a top eight finish despite challenges faced during the sessions.
On Sunday, Latvian bobsledders completed several training runs, and pilot Kalenda reported feeling pleased with his performance, indicating that while things did not go perfectly, he is in good shape leading up to the matches. He expressed a desire to be among the top eight competitors in future events.
