Team GB athlete Kristan Bromley was pleased with his first two runs of the men's skeleton, which he believes have put him in a position to compete for a top-six finish.
The four-time Olympian is currently sharing eighth place with Canadian John Fairbairn and is 2.27 seconds behind Russian leader Alexander Tretiakov.
"In the first run I made a couple of little mistakes as the speed of the track was a bit different to training," Bromley told reporters.
"My second run was much more competitive, but I had a but too much height into turn 11 which cost me. Overall I'm pretty pleased with where I am at heading into the final two runs. I will keep trying and try to finish in the top six."
Bromley's fellow Brit Dominic Parsons is joint 10th having gone 2.41 seconds slower than Tretiakov in Sochi.
