After the first day of the competition, the Kalenda four-man bobsleigh team is in 11th place, falling short of the top ten by a narrow margin. The team, led by pilot Jēkabs Kalenda and featuring pushers Lauris Kaufmanis, Matīs Miknis, and Mairis Kļava, started their first run with an impressive time that placed them just 0.73 seconds behind the winner from Germany, Johannes Lochner. The initial performance set a competitive tone for the event, highlighting the skill and speed of the teams participating.

However, during the second run, the Kalenda team encountered a setback when they lost their ideal trajectory early on due to hitting the track's edge. This crucial error impacted their overall standing, causing them to slide down the rankings in the early stages of the event. With 27 teams competing in total, consistency and precision became paramount, making each run vital for contention in the final rankings.

The team's coach, Edgars Maskalāns, suggested that the second run, scheduled for 12:45 PM Latvian time, was critical for improving their standings. Two decisive runs will occur on Sunday, underscoring the importance of performance and strategy as the competition reaches its climax. The Kalenda crew is focused on recovering and striving to secure a better position as they approach the competition's conclusion.
