PYEONGCHANG, Korea, Republic Of 鈥� Justin Kripps and his four-man bobsled of Alex Kopacz of London, Ont., Jesse Lumsden of Burlington, Ont., and Ottawa's Seyi Smith sit just off podium position in fourth place after the first two heats. The final four heats were scheduled for Sunday.
"I'm super proud of the boys, pumping off some huge starts," said Kripps, of Summerland, B.C. "We just got to find a bit more speed down the bottom and we'll move up tomorrow."
Hamilton's Nick Poloniato and his crew were 13th while Chris Spring of Priddis, Alta., was 15th.
Spring was not happy with his combined time of 1:38.64 and gave reporters an expletive-laced rant after his second run.
"I get to the bottom and see this garbage time that's given to me. Wasting my time with this (expletive). It's just time after time," said Spring. "I do this sport and so many times I see the result at the bottom and I'm like, 'What the (expletive) is going on?' Where is the time? It doesn't add up to me. Especially when I watch other runs.
"It's like that in all the sliding sports I feel. It's not always indicative of the performance you put down. The time at the bottom doesn't always correlate with that."
