Joel Fearon feels "no pressure" in bobsleigh

Four-man bobsleigh member Joel Fearon says that there is "no pressure" on the team, despite them being Great Britain's last competitors at the Winter Olympics.

Joel Fearon has said that there is "no pressure" on Great Britain's four-man bobsleigh team, despite them being the final Brits to compete in Sochi.

The four-man event is due to get underway on Saturday and will be completed on Sunday shortly before the closing ceremony.

The 25-year-old told the Coventry Telegraph: "It has gone in such a wonderful direction and just being here at the Games you are already thinking that at the start of the year we didn't know what to expect.

"We are getting a lot of exposure at the moment and we have had such good results throughout the year that there is this enjoyment. There is no pressure on being the last Brits to go.

"We have been preparing for this for quite a long time. I think it is really exciting for us. It is nice to be part of the whole finishing process and part of the whole big bang finish. And I will be at the closing ceremony."

Team GB have not won a medal in bobsleigh since the 1964 Games in Innsbruck.
