“... There’s so many people behind us, and all of their efforts, including ours, are going towards this. To have mistakes like we had today and still only be a tenth out is really a testament to how far we’ve come. I need to fix the first Labyrinth, and then we will have a real shot,” said Del Duca in the Mixed Zone.

Heats 3 and 4 of 2-Man Bobsled will take place at 7:00pm and 9:05pm CET tomorrow, February 17, streaming on NBC or Peacock.
