Winter Olympics: Canada and Germany share two-man bobsleigh gold


Full coverage timesCanada and Germany shared the two-man bobsleigh Winter Olympic gold medal as a remarkable race in Pyeongchang finished as a dead heat. Canada's Justin Kripps and Alexander Kopacz posted a combined time of three minutes 16.86 seconds after four runs - the same time as German pair Francesco Friedrich and Thorsten Margis. The Canadian sled then finished 0.06secs slower than their German counterparts to see the gold medal shared for the first time since Nagano in 1998. That was also the last time Canada won gold in this discipline, sharing the title with Italy's Gunther Huber and Antonio Tartaglia. Moments later they all erupted again, as did the Germans once they realised the gold was to be shared with Francesco Friedrich.
