Two man bobsled is on right now.
A few questions come to my mind first why is only the pilot named?! Is the guy in back just there for decoration?
Why are the graphics for bobsleigh so much more fancier than in luge and skeleton? There's a speedometre, a map of the track with the sled's position on it, there's even replays that compare one team's run with another!
There's also an Aussie team in here, they're currently in 20th (?) hope they can move up a bit and get a final run!

According to the commentators the last time it happened in two-man bobsleigh was 20 years ago at Nagano in 1998 and one of the dual medallist was - can you believe it - Canada! The other team was Italy.

I guess the pilot is more vital (like you can do a run without a brakeman but not without a pilot, although they're both important)... and like you can switch the brakeman if you want (doesn't usually happen in the same competition except for injury or something)

Can't wait to cheer on the Nigerian women! I remember when the Jamaicans came to bobsleigh in Calgary in '88. What a sensation. I hope the Nigerian women have equal success..but better results.

Had the Four Man Bobsled going on in the background while I was watching the gala and huge news! There was another tie! This time for silver! And South Korea was one of the teams involved! Huge congrats to them and...I'm not sure who, one of the Germanys?

Yep, one German team tied for silver and another one won the gold.
