Bobsled Continues Under German Domination

Germany continues to dominate the bobsled events at the Milano Cortina Olympics, securing multiple medals.

Germany's bobsled teams have once again demonstrated their supremacy at the Milano Cortina Olympic Games by clinching all top spots in the women’s two-man and men’s four-man competitions. In the women's two-man event, the duo of Laura Nolte and Deborah Levi finished first with a time of 3:48.46, followed closely by fellow Germans Lisa Buckwitz and Neele Schuten. The United States team of Kaillie Armbruster Humphries and Jasmine Jones took third place, showcasing the fierce competition, while another German duo, Kim Kalicki and Talea Prepens, finished fourth. In the men's four-man event, the trend continued with German teams occupying the top two positions. The winning team achieved a total time of 3:37.57, while the second-placed team was just 0.57 seconds behind. Notably, a Swiss team managed to outrun one of the German teams by a mere four hundredths of a second, highlighting the close competition. Overall, Germany has affirmed its status as the powerhouse of bobsledding, having secured eight out of twelve possible medals across four events, including three golds in various disciplines. The dominance of German bobsledding at the Olympics not only showcases the country's strength in winter sports but also sets a benchmark in preparation and strategy for future Olympic events. The only exception to Germany's haul was the women's monobob event, which saw American Elana Meyers Taylor take the gold, emphasizing that while Germany leads, other nations remain competitive in the sport.
