Winter Olympics: British bobsleigh crashes in Beijing

Great Britain's two-man bobsleigh team crashed on their third run at the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing.

The sled, being driven by Brad Hall with Nick Gleeson as brakeman, turned over after corner 13 at the Yanqing Sliding Centre.

They walked away unhurt and produced their second best run of the event when they returned for the fourth heat.

The duo finished 11th and will now prepare for the four-man competition.

Germany claimed a historic clean sweep of the podium with Francesco Friedrich winning gold, Johannes Lochner silver and Christoph Hafer the bronze.

'You are here, you are fighting, you are doing your best'

Analysis from John Jackson - Sochi 2014 bronze medallist

I completely feel for Brad Hall and Nick Gleeson, I went through this [a bobsleigh crash] in 2010 and it broke my heart.

You are here, you are fighting, you are doing your best, you are representing your country.

The main thing, other than damaged pride, is the guys look really good.

I just hope Brad can forget about this now over the next few days and step into the four-man and take that as a chance to bring the medal home.
