Trinidad and Tobago's bobsleigh team said it is "mission accomplished" in their 'operation don't come last' as they finished 25th out of 26 in the Olympic two-man event in Cortina.
Harrogate-born Axel Brown said in January that the goal was to not finish bottom of the standings at the Games and they were second-from-bottom, ahead of Israel, with an overall time of 2:51:05.
The 33-year-old, who raced for Team GB for seven years before switching to compete for his mother's home nation, pilots the sled with brakeman De Aundre John.
"It's absolutely mission accomplished. Me and Dre [John] have been able to do something special together," he told BBC Sport.
"For little Trinidad and Tobago to do that with no state funding is huge. To beat another nation at the top of their game as well that feels like a win - it is a win."
