In the Winter Olympics, bobsled and skeleton is arguably the sport with the least margin for error.
Americans Elana Meyers Taylor and Lauren Gibbs won the silver medal on Wednesday in the two-woman bobsled, just seven hundredths of a second behind the gold medal German team.
In the 2018 Men’s Skeleton, less than one second separated gold medalist Yung Sung-bin’s track record 50.02, and the best heat of the leading American, Matthew Antoine who topped out at 50.91. Coming off a bronze medal in Sochi, Antoine finished in 11th place.
In a sport with so little separating spots on the podium, every inch of the course matters.
