GB win first world four-man medal for 84 years

Great Britain won a first four-man bobsleigh medal at the World Championships for 84 years with silver in St Moritz.Germany's Olympic champion Francesco Friedrich claimed his fifth consecutive title in a time of four minutes 19.61 seconds, 0.69secs ahead."It's been a hell of a long time since a four-man crew has won a World Championship medal. To be the ones who have bucked that trend is pretty special.

Frederick McEvoy led Britain to their previous four-man medal, also a silver, in Cortina, Italy, in 1939. Hall, whose previous best four-man finish at the World Championships was seventh in 2020, went into the final run trailing Germany by eight hundredths of a second. But Friedrich, who won four-man and two-man gold at the 2018 and 2022 Winter Olympics, set a track record time of 1:04.73 as Germany took a comfortable gold.

Britain's men last won a World Championship medal in any discipline in 1966, when Tony Nash and Robin Dixon took two-man bronze in Cortina.Why has Bad Education made a comeback?

Funny how you still call yourself great !

Congratulations to the team 🎊 👏 👏👏 Great achievement 💪

Ahhh. I wondered why everybody was cheering outside & the cars were beeping their horns.

Charles Bronson: Britain's most notorious prisoner launches art exhibition in hopes of new parole bidIt comes before the Parole Board will be asked to decide what level of risk Bronson is to the public next month, with some believing his ability to work and earn money as an artist and support himself could help his parole bid. He seems to be enjoying his prison life. I don’t see why prisoners aren’t out picking up litter. Much better use of their time. Painting paid for by the tax payer….. I'd hate to be the art critic at that exhibition. 😡😡😡😡😡
