The French four‑man bobsleigh team suffered a start mishap on day 15 of the 2026 Winter Olympics when a rider’s foot got stuck, jeopardising their silver‑sled hopes. The incident came after a careful waxing session in the workshop, where a technician was preparing a sleigh for the competition.

Canada is slated to compete next under the banner of Dearborn, but analysts say they are unlikely to surpass the French performance.
