WHISTLER, British Columbia – The Australian team has withdrawn from the four-man bobsled competition at the Vancouver Olympics because two brakemen are injured.
The Australians did not start in two official training runs on Tuesday at the Whistler Sliding Center.
The team says in a statement that Duncan Pugh still has not recovered from a concussion after his sled overturned in the opening run of the two-man competition, and Duncan Harvey still has back pain from his crash in two-man training.
The Australian sled was a late addition to the four-man field.
