Johannes Lochner finishes his career in style, capturing Olympic gold in the four-man bobsled event at the Milan Cortina Games. The German star, who announced his retirement earlier this year, secures his second gold medal of these Olympics, edging out two-time defending champion Francesco Friedrich by 0.57 seconds. Lochner's four-run time is 3 minutes, 37.57 seconds.
Switzerland's Michael Vogt claims bronze, overtaking Germany's Adam Ammour in the final run. Ammour settles for fourth. The medal tally for bobsled at these Olympics shows Germany dominating with 8 medals, while the U.S. earns 3, and Switzerland takes 1.
In total, Germany leads the overall sliding sports medal count with 19, far ahead of Austria (5) and Italy (4). Lochner joins an elite group, becoming the seventh pilot to sweep both men’s bobsled events in Olympic history.
