The Olympics bobsled competition starts up live on Tuesday and will be streaming online as Lolo Jones and Team USA competes in the bobsledding competition at the Sochi Winter Games and the United States are looking to snag a medal later this week in the Women's 2-Man Competition and there will be two runs on the day and they will be online from the NBCOlympics.com website from Russia.
Jones brings some extra attention onto the sport and the bobsled is one of the most anticipated and exciting events in Sochi and gives Jones a chance to win her first medal. Jones was picked to the team back in January and she made it on with Lauryn Williams and Aja Evans and now they get their chance to shine on Tuesday. Jones missed out on gold medals in her competitions in the summer Olympics in China and in London and now she has the chance to do it here in the winter games.
Jones was selected back then to become the ninth American to compete in both games and her track skills translate very well to the bobsled event. The team had won a number of World Cup races with Jones and Williams in the fold and now they get the chance to go for gold medals at Sochi. The opening runs start up at 10:15 am ET and will continue through the day and then things pick up later in the week with the medals and this comes as the US won bronze in Vancouver and now Jones will be paired with driver Jazmine Fenlator on Tuesday.
Jamie Greubel and Aja Evans are paired together on the day as well and this comes as Williams will be with Elana Meyers and she has been great for the team, pushing to top five results various times at the World Championships and World Cups and Jamie Greubel comes in after finishing eighth in the 2013 world championship and now the US has the chance to try and go for the gold. The German team is also strong and they come in with Sandra Kiriasis and Frnziska Fritz and they previously have won gold and that was back in 2006, while the team also won silver in the 2010 games in Vancouver. Canada also has a strong team with Kaillie Humphries and Heather Moyse and they won the gold medal back in 2010, which is what Jones hopes to do now.
