Canada 3 with Justin Kripps, Jesse Lumsden, Cody Sorensen and Ben Coakwell flipped in Saturday's bobsled heats in Sochi. All four walked away from the spill.
KRASNAYA POLYANA, RUSSIA—One of Canada’s bobsleds crashed during the second run at the Sochi Olympics on Saturday.
The Canada 3 sled piloted by Justin Kripps tipped over as it went into a corner and slid down the track on its side. Kripps, Jesse Lumsden, Cody Sorensen and Ben Coakwell all appeared to be OK, walking away under their own power.
Kripps was a last-minute substitute for Chris Spring, who was moved into the Canada 1 sled. Canada 3 was in eighth place after the first heat, with two more heats planned for Sunday.
Canada has two other sleds entered in the event.
