Hometown hero Kristen Bujnowski and teammate Christine de Bruin were in fourth place with one run to go in the Olympic Two-Woman Bobsleigh event.
"I've watched Kristen for so many years compete and they've been many times in fourth place going into finals," says Rose Bujnowski, Kristen's mom.
"Anything can happen and it's not until the last run goes through that the competition is over".
Due to Covid-19 restrictions, only about 40 family members, as well as close friends and former coaches gathered to watch her compete.
Among those in the crowd were Olympic Gold Medallist Damian Warner, and some of Kristen's former track and field coaches.
