In the third run of the Olympic bobsleigh doubles competition, Johannes Lohner led with a notable margin of 0.80 seconds over his closest rival, compatriot Francesco Friedrich. The competition intensified as Lohner managed to increase his advantage to 0.92 seconds by the end of the run, solidifying his lead ahead of the German sleds. Adam Amūrs, performing well alongside his pusher Alexander Schaller, held onto third place, increasing his distance over the American duo of Frankie de Duku and Joshua Williamson.

Before the third run, Kalenda was just 0.29 seconds shy of a medal position, but the evolving dynamics on the Cortina track soon shifted the prospects for several competitors. Most of the top ten racers maintained their standings, showcasing consistent performance relative to their previous runs. However, the exceptions were the local competitors Patriks Baumgartners and Roberts Mirkē, who improved their performance, climbing into a shared seventh place, demonstrating the competitive spirit and potential of the home team in this prestigious event.

The changing standings and increasing gaps between the competitors highlight the pressure and skill involved in these Olympic runs. As the competition progresses, the focus will pivot on who can maintain composure and excel under pressure, especially with the potential for last-minute shake-ups before the final runs determine the medal winners in bobsleigh doubles. This event not only displays the athletic prowess of the participants but also the strategic maneuvering essential in bobsleigh racing, making it a captivating spectacle for sports enthusiasts worldwide.
