Germany are 'buying the medals'published at 13:06 Greenwich Mean Time 19 February 2022
Four-man bobsleigh
Nicola Minichiello
Three-time Olympic bobsledder on BBC TVThe Germans have a state-funded programme. It is funded by the government for massive research, innovation and investment in technology in sliding - luge, skeleton and bobsleigh. We are really seeing [the results of] that.
The monobob is the only event where the equipment is taken out of it because everybody has to buy the exact same equipment. It comes down to the start and the drive. In all the other events the equipment is playing a much bigger factor, and that is why the Germans are really dominating. It's frustrating.
What we need to do [to create a more even competition] is play down the technology and go to centralised [equipment] across all sliding sports. That would make it affordable.
Increasing funding for GB might be great for GB, but what I feel is important is making sure every country has the same opportunity - making the Olympics back open, on to a level playing field.
Not all countries have millions of euros to invest in technology. They are buying the medals.

Bobsleigh heat three donepublished at 12:56 Greenwich Mean Time 19 February 2022
The Swiss pair of Martina Fontanive and Irina Strebel are the only slower team than Mica McNeill and Montell Douglas of Great Britain.
The teams will go for a fourth and final run at 13:30 GMT.
Germany's Laura Nolte and Deborah Levi, 0.78 seconds clear, are surely nailed on for gold.

Two-time Olympic bobsledder on BBC TVOne of the issues the British women always have is the start, it is their Achilles heel.
When you have the slowest start in the field you are leaving yourself a lot of work to do.

Georgia's Karina Safina and Luka Berulava are currently at the front of the grid. But all the overnight leaders are revving up and ready to go.
The ice has been resurfaced and repaired. Let's see how smoothly the eight best pairs can navigate it.

The best run of their three so far from Mica McNeill and Montell Douglas. They clock 1:02.17. The 14th fastest of the 19 runners on this individual run.
They are still 19th overall though.

Romania's Andreea Grecu will tackle the course and then it is the turn of Britain's Mica McNeill and Montell Douglas to head down.
Their best run was their first yesterday, a one minute 2.19 second effort.

The irony is that the 2008 summer Olympics that she competed at were at Beijing. Now she is back here and there are so many different facets to the story, the legacy, the fact that there is cross-over, the length of time we are talking 14 years here, it is phenomenal.
She has a left a real legacy in both summer and winter Olympic sport. Once again opening doors, setting opportunities for females in sport.
Montell Douglas and pilot Mica McNeill go 19th in this set of bobsleigh runs. Only a few minutes away now.

Barring a genuine shock, the only remaining possibility of a ninth US gold is Jessie Diggins in the women's 30km freestyle cross country race tomorrow, the last event of Beijing 2022.
Most predictors, including Gracenote's Virtual Medal Table gave her a minor medal in this event before the Olympics with Norway's Therese Johaug the overwhelming choice for gold ahead of either Diggins or one of the Swedish entrants.

Cynthia Richardson and Dawn Richardson Wilson have walked away from it safely, though, but their sled flipped on its side and their helmets seemed to hit the ice several times.

Two-time Olympic bobsledder on BBC TVThey [Cynthia Appiah and Dawn Richardson Wilson] both seem to be okay which is always the most important thing and it's great to see them walk away from that. A little bit of disappointment but she hasn't really lost any time, maybe a tenth of a second or so extra around that corner.

Only fifth and sixth positions have been traded between American Kaillie Humphries and Germany's Kim Kalicki.

Not good.
But luckily the athletes inside are all good.
Canada's Cynthia Appiah and Dawn Richardson Wilson clamber out of their upturned sled with nothing more than dented pride. And, with their spill coming late in the run, their time was only marginally slower than their first two efforts.
'The odds were not favourable'published at 12:27 Greenwich Mean Time 19 February 2022
Image source, Getty ImagesYesterday, Montell Douglas claimed a little bit of history. She became the first British woman, one of very few women from anywhere, to appear at both the Summer and Winter Games. Douglas, 36, represented Britain at the Beijing 2008 Games on the track.
"The odds for me, a black South London girl, born to teenage parents in the 1980s, with no family background of higher education or sporting elitism, to even have had half the experiences I have, were also not favourable," she wrote in her latest BBC Sport column.
"Yet here I am, so I'm soaking it all in."

Nolte missed out a medal in the monobob, finishing fourth, so she is looking to make up for that.
