After the first two heats of the four-man bobsled races at the 2026 Milan Cortina Olympics, the USA team with Latter-day Saint Caleb Furnell is in the top 10.

The USA sled, with pilot Kris Horn, is ninth after two runs at the Cortina Sliding Center in Cortina d’Ampezzo, Italy. Furnell is a push athlete with Hunter Powell and Carsten Vissering.

In the four-man bobsled, the men push a bobsled, jump into it and tuck their heads in as the pilot steers it on the twists and turns of the icy track, with the fastest sleds reaching speeds up to 85 mph (137 kilometers per hour). Places are determined by hundredths of a second.
