Austrian bobsled pilot Jakob Mandlbauer was taken off the course in a stretcher and subsequently hospitalized after his nearly 1,500 pound bobsled overturned during a Saturday, February 21, run at the 2026 Winter Olympics. The crash occurred during the second heat of the four-man final. Mandlbauer's three teammates - Daniel Bertschler, Sebastian Mitterer, and Daiyehan Nichols-Bardi - all walked away from the incident with no injury, while Mandlbauer, 27, remained immobilized in the wreckage.
