Russian Alexander Zubkov claimed his second gold medal of the Olympic Games by winning the four-man bobsled on Sunday.

Zubkov, who also earned gold in the two-man bob, was leading by just 0.04 seconds after Saturday's opening two runs.

On Sunday, he produced two more consistent runs to clock a combined time of 3 minutes 40.60 seconds to finish 0.09 seconds ahead of second-placed Latvia-1.

Zubkov follows in the footsteps of Germany's Andre Lange who also won both events at the 2006 Turin Games.

Latvia, piloted by Oskars Melbardis, were second overnight and they maintained their position to get silver.
