Ledecka enters history books
The German pair of Friedrich and Thorsten Margis shared gold with Canada in the two-man event on Monday after a dramatic dead-heat.
And, unbelievably, the hometown favourites, the South Korean team piloted by Won Yunjong - and coached by Canadian Pierre Lueders, who won Olympic gold at Nagano in 1998 and silver at the 2006 Turin Games - tied for the silver medal with a second German sled piloted by Nico Walther. "Winning a medal was our big target and making sure we didn't make the same mistakes. We did it in the two-man and the four-man and also the girls' gold, which wasn't expected", said Friedrich.
GB's Lamin Deen, Toby Olubi, Ben Simons and Andrew Matthews went down in 49.44 and 49.45 to finish 1.35 seconds behind, while team-mates Brad Hall, Joel Fearon, Nick Gleeson and Greg Cackett were just 0.10 seconds behind after times of 49.25 and 49.68. "I'd really like to thank them", added Won. He got the lead in the first heat and he kept on going.
"It was his last race and he has won a silver".
"The failure in Sochi motivated us all the more to win". "We wanted to win a medal for him".

Gates pleads guilty; Manafort faces new accusation
In a statement this afternoon, Manafort said that, even with Gates' plea - quote - "I continue to maintain my innocence". Manafort called the Hapsburg Group's lobbying effort "SUPER VIP" in an "EYES ONLY" memo cited in the new indictment.
Corner nine took out two-time Olympic champion and German luge legend Felix Loch on his final run. "I can't believe that we made it after such a tough time", said Friedrich. "It was only in my imagination. I thought I drove well, just little mistakes", Kripps said. We have our team and a lot of sponsors, everyone worked as a team so that we could get this result.
Won and Walther celebrated with each other afterward as well. They did four great runs and it's nice to share.
PYEONGCHANG, SOUTH KOREA-The last time Justin Kripps was piloting a four-man bobsled in the final run at the Olympics, he was sitting last, having flipping his sled on an earlier run. Germany won 11 medals at the Alpensia Sliding Center; Canada won the second-most, with four.
German bobsledders claimed the top two spots of the 4-man event, another competition that registered a same time for podium finishers as the 2-man event at the PyeongChang Winter Olympic Games here on Sunday, while the Chinese team have to look beyond this games after failing to reach the final heat in their Olympic debut. The second German team included four-time gold medal victor Kevin Kuske, who decided at the age of 39 to enjoy one more attempt at a Games and ended up with a silver.
The medal standings are based on the cumulative results in the sport.
