During day 15 of the Winter Olympics, the French four‑man bobsleigh squad was in contention for gold. A mishap at the start—one rider’s foot got stuck—caused a critical delay, pushing the team off the podium and leaving them with a silver finish.
Canada’s next run was watched closely, but the team could not improve on the French performance. In the workshop, a technician was seen carefully waxing a sleigh, preparing for the next day’s events.
