"Brad Hall's Team GB are next. They get off quick with 4.78 start but with perfection required this is a little short. There are a couple of errors in turns one and two, with speed not picking up further down the course. The time of 54.66secs is much better than their second run (55.04) but Lochner's team is further off in the distance, 1.23secs ahead."
"The Swiss are less clean with their run, but they post their second-quickest time (54.69) which sees them lose ground on the team above them. Share The Swiss are down in 54.55, quicker than Ammour's sled in the third run but not quick enough to move up into the medal positions. Neither can the Italians, who get down in a tidy fashion but a lack of speed out of the gate sees them post a 54.57 and remain a couple of hundredths off bronze."
"Lochner's team start 0.6secs faster than Lochner's team but he's losing time further down the track and the 54.30secs finishing time means the time advantage for the leaders grows to 0.48secs.

The leaders, the Johannes Lochner's German crew are down in 54.25, not his best but not far off."

Brad Hall's Team GB started quickly but made errors in turns one and two, producing a 54.66 that left them 1.23 seconds behind the leaders and close to the bronze position. The Swiss produced off-line runs but posted times of 54.69 and 54.55, losing ground and remaining outside medal positions. The Italians recorded a tidy descent but a slow start produced a 54.57, keeping them just shy of bronze. Adam Ammour's German crew sat 0.96 seconds back after a less impressive run.
