Germany on Tuesday became the first country to sweep a podium at the Beijing Olympics, winning all three medals in the two-man bobsled competition.
Francesco Friedrich and Thorsten Margis won the gold medal, completing four runs in a cumulative time of 3 minutes 56.89 seconds. Johannes Lochner and Florian Bauer took 0.49 of a second longer and won silver, and Christoph Hafer and Matthias Sommer finished 1.69 seconds behind for the bronze.
It was the second consecutive gold medal in the event for Friedrich and Margis, who tied with a Canadian team for first place at the 2018 Olympics.
