Olsen, Cunningham, Bascue lead US Olympic bobsled team

Justin Olsen has an Olympic bobsled gold medal as a brakeman, and now gets the chance to pursue one as a driver.

Olsen, Nick Cunningham and Codie Bascue were announced Monday as the three drivers on the U.S. men's Olympic bobsled team for the Pyeongchang Games. Each will compete in the two- and four-man competitions.

Olsen was part of the U.S. four-man sled that won gold at the Vancouver Games in 2010. That sled was driven by Steven Holcomb, the longtime leader of the U.S. program who died last spring. His unexpected death left a void the team has been dealing with this Olympic season.
