BLACKBURN'S Paula Walker sits 12th after the first two runs of the Winter Olympic women's two-man bobsleigh in Russia.

Walker was 12th in the first heat and was unable to move up after the second run meaning any hopes of a medal have all but faded.

But the 27-year-old, who piloted with team-mate Rebekah Wilson as brakeswoman, is now switching her attention of getting into the top 10 having been set a top eight target before the Games begin.

The final two runs take place tomorrow.
