Ireland's Sean Greenwood is in 27th and last place in the men's Skeleton after the second heat of the afternoon in Sochi.

The Canadian-born athlete suffered a massive crash during his second run of the day, which saw him finish well off the pace, despite managing to complete the run.

After finishing his first run in a time of 57.99 seconds, Greenwood crossed the line for his second run in 1:05.11, which leaves him over 11 seconds behind the leader ahead of tomorrow's third heat.
