“[Lascelles Brown] pushed like a champion,” says Rush, pilot of the Canada 1 two-man bobsleigh. “He deserves better than that. I really let him down.” Canada 1 sat third after the first heat, while Brown and Rush were the fastest off the start in both heats. On the second run, Rush made a mistake in corner 11. So began a snowball effect that got worse and worse and worse until it was over in corner 13, with Canada 1 on its side, scraping across the finish line.”I have never crashed there,” Rush said. “I didn’t bump my head very hard. I got a hard head. I played football for a lot of years. It was just more like, ‘You got to be kidding me,’ this didn’t just happen.’
