Olympics Bobsled Women’s Qualifying medal results, highlights and more
By Mike Dyce
After the first two runs in women’s bobsled, Germany sits in first and third and the United States is threatening in fourth.
The women’s bobsled is underway at the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang and just like the two-man event, Germany is in position to dominate. After the first two runs, German sits in first and third.
The United States is threatening to dominate in the event as well, with a team in second and fourth. The fourth-place American duo of Aja Evans and Jamie Greubel Poser finished just 0.02 seconds out of third place and could find themselves on the podium.
The Canadian pair of Phylicia George and Kaillie Humphries finished 0.02 seconds behind Evans and Poser.
The final two runs will take place on Wednesday, and anything could happen with such a narrow margin between first and fifth place.
