French Bobsleigh Team Falters at Start in 2026 Winter Olympics

The French men's four‑man bobsleigh team, known for their silver‑sized sled, hit a snag at the start when a rider’s foot got stuck, undermining their performance on day 15 of the 2026 Winter Olympics.

The French men's four‑man bobsleigh team, celebrated for their high‑performance silver sled, encountered a critical mishap at the start of the day 15 run when one rider’s foot became stuck in the sled. The incident disrupted their launch and compromised their competitive edge. Meanwhile, a Canadian team is scheduled to compete next, but analysts say they are unlikely to surpass the French team’s performance.
