LIVE: Bobsleigh pilot Kalenda's quartet will strive to reach the TOP10 in the decisive runs at the Olympic Games

On the final day of the Milan-Cortina Olympic Games, Latvian bobsled pilot Jēkabs Kalenda and his team aim for a top 10 finish in the last two runs, currently positioned 11th after the first runs.

On the concluding day of the Milan-Cortina Olympic Games, bobsleigh teams are preparing for their final two runs. Among them is the Latvian quartet led by Jēkabs Kalenda, who after the initial runs is currently in 11th place, trailing the leader, Johannes Lochner of Germany, by 1.26 seconds. The situation is tightly contested, especially for Kalenda, who is just 0.17 seconds behind the team in 10th place, led by Austrian Markus Treihler.

The competition is fierce, with Johannes Lochner already having secured a gold medal in the two-man event and having established a solid lead over his closest rival, Francesco Friedrich, by 0.43 seconds. This establishes Lochner as a formidable competitor while Kalenda faces the pressure of needing to improve his performance to break into the top 10. With limited opportunities left, every second in these final runs will count.

As the event progresses, updates are likely to follow, reflecting the tension and stakes involved in these last moments of Olympic competition. For Kalenda and his team, this is a critical culmination of their efforts throughout the games, and their performance could solidify their standing on an international stage as they aim to showcase their skills against the world's best bobsleigh athletes.
