The United States Olympic Committee and USA Bobsled & Skeleton on Wednesday announced it received official notification from the International Olympic Committee that both the two-man bobsled team of the late Steven Holcomb and Steve Langton and the four-man bobsled team of Holcomb, Langton, Chris Fogt and Curt Tomasevicz have been awarded the silver medals after originally finishing third at the Olympic Winter Games Sochi 2014.
“This is a long time coming, and it’s great to see these athletes get the medals they earned,” said USA Bobsled & Skeleton CEO Darrin Steele. “It doesn’t make up for the experience they missed out on at the Games, but it was the right thing to do and we’re all proud of them and what they accomplished.
