Bobsleigh-Lochner leads another German sweep of Two-Man

  • On Feb 17 in Cortina d'Ampezzo, Germany swept the Olympic Two‑Man medals for a second Games in a row, with Johannes Lochner winning silver, Francesco Friedrich second, and Adam Ammour and Alexander Schaller taking bronze.
  • Having led the World Cup all season, Lochner carried that form into the Olympics, taking a grip on the event on Monday as he opened a 0.8 second lead over Friedrich.
  • On Tuesday, timed runs show Lochner's first‑out time of 55.01 after fighting early skids, ending 1.34 clear in the event often decided by hundredths.
  • They will start as favourites to complete another team sweep via the Four‑Man and Two‑Woman events as training for the Four‑Man begins on Wednesday morning.
  • Lochner said, `There’s nothing better than when a plan works out. I'm so happy, I can't describe this,` while Americans Frankie Del Duca and Josh Williamson finished fourth and Romanian duo Mihai Cristian Tentea and George Iordache took fifth.
