In the Olympics, after three runs, Kalenda shares 7th place in the bobsleigh doubles competition

Kalenda finished in a tie for 7th place in the bobsleigh doubles event at the Olympics after three runs, falling short of medal contention.

In the bobsleigh doubles event at the Olympics, Johannes Lohner led significantly before the third run, holding an 0.80-second lead over fellow countryman Francesco Friedrich, with German pilot Adam Amur in third place. Despite a close proximity to medal positions, Kalenda was just 0.29 seconds away before the third run, but subsequent competition eliminated his chances of medaling. During the third run, the top contenders maintained their positions, with the German crews extending their leads over the competition. Lohner increased his advantage over Friedrich to 0.92 seconds, while Amur and his pusher Alexander Schaller solidified their third-place spot, creating a gap of 0.45 seconds over the U.S. team of Frankie de Duku and Joshua Williamson in fourth. A notable exception in the results was the local team of Patriks Baumgartners and Roberts Mirkē, who improved their performance to share the 7th place with Kalenda. This display of skill underscored the competitive nature of the event and reflected the home advantage that can emerge in Olympic settings, as well as highlighting the tight contests among the leading teams.
