Russia have claimed their first Olympic bobsleigh gold, with pilot Alexander Zubkov guiding the host nation to a commanding victory in Sochi.
Alongside Alexey Voevoda, Zubkov recorded a combined time of three minutes 45.39 seconds for four runs.
They finished 0.66 secs ahead of Switzerland, who took silver, while the USA sled, piloted by World Cup champion Steven Holcomb, finished third.
Great Britain were 23rd with the Jamaicans finishing 29th out of 30.
The success of Zubkov and Voevoda gave Russia their fifth gold medal of the Games.
The Team GB duo of Lamin Deen and John Baines were only paired last week following the withdrawal of Craig Pickering through injury.
They did not feature in the fourth and final run after they finished outside of the top 20 which qualified from round three.
'It hasn't been easy as we haven't had much time to prepare, but I felt we were getting better each round,' Deen told BBC Sport.
'We've had an extra nine runs on the track though and that will really help us come the four-man event.'
Jamaican pilot Winston Watts, 46, said he was disappointed the team could not finish higher but was delighted by the response to their presence in the event.
It was the Caribbean island's first appearance in bobsleigh at the Winter Olympics since 2002.

Our daily preview of the Sochi Winter Games continues with a look ahead to day 10 of events at the 2014 Winter Olympics.
Sports video | 19136 views
The tagline of the 2014 Winter Olympic Games - seen throughout Sochi - was 'Hot. Cool. Yours.'
But there has been another slogan on display here.
Located on the side of the new Formula 1 grandstand, currently being built near the Olympic Park, the phrase 'Russia - Great, New, Open' provides a better insight into how President Vladimir Putin wants the world to perceive his country now.
But with the final medals awarded, and the Olympic flame extinguished, has Russia achieved what it set out to do? Were the first Olympic Games to be staged in the country since 1980 a success?
And what are the wider implications for the International Olympic Committee (IOC) as it now turns its attention to future Games?

Two former members of the all-female Russian punk band Pussy Riot were detained in central Sochi on Tuesday, the husband of a member told CNN.
Maria Alyokhina and Nadezhda Tolokonnikova were recently released from prison, ahead of the Sochi Olympics.
The two were near the seaport, meeting journalists, when police took them in, Tolokonnikova's husband said.
Local police have not yet confirmed the detention.
The pair was planning to record a song in English called 'Putin will teach you love the homeland.'
Tolokonnikova posted photos to Twitter of what she claims is herself in a car being taken to a police station.
Alyokhina posted a tweet saying they had had been detained near the church of Mikhail the Archangel and were accused of committing a crime. Officers forced them into a police van, she said.
Tolokonnikova and Alyokhina, who are highly critical of President Vladimir Putin, went to Sochi to protest against the lack freedom of speech in Russia.
The former band members were thrown in jail for nearly two years after they were convicted of 'hooliganism' and inciting religious hatred for performing a riotous punk song slamming Putin in a Moscow Cathedral -- and posting a video of it online.
A third member of Pussy Riot, Yekaterina Samutsevich, was released in 2012.
In February, other members of the band distanced themselves from Tolokonnikova and Alyokhina.

Host nation Russia finished on top of the medal table as the 22nd Winter Olympics came to a close in Sochi on Sunday after 17 days of competition.
International Olympic Committee president Thomas Bach officially closed the Games during an extravagant 130-minute ceremony.
South Korea were given the Olympic flag as Pyeongchang hosts the 2018 Games.
Britain equalled their best Winter Olympics performance with one gold, one silver and two bronze medals.
The build-up to the Games was overshadowed by concerns over the threat of a terrorist attack and the impact of protests against Russian anti-gay legislation.
But Bach said Russia and the Black Sea resort city of Sochi had 'delivered all that it promised' and risen above the concerns to deliver an impressive Olympics.
'These were excellent Games that may lead to the reversal of some criticism of the Russian organisers that preceded the Olympics,' he said.
Bach used his speech at the closing ceremony in the Fisht Stadium to emphasise Olympic values.
'By living together under one roof in the Olympic Village you send a powerful message from Sochi to the world, that of a society of peace, tolerance and respect,' he said.
'I appeal to everybody implicated in confrontation, oppression and violence to act on this Olympic message of dialogue and peace.'
Russian President Vladimir Putin, who watched the ceremony from the stands and

Russia will play Finland in the men's ice hockey quarter-finals at Sochi 2014 after winning a testing play-off 4-0 against a weaker Norwegian team.
Norway held Russia in a goalless first period but went behind to an Alexander Radulov strike through Lars Haugen's legs and an Ilya Kovalchuk rebound.
A late empty-net goal by Radulov as Norway chased the game, then an Alexei Tereshchenko strike, flattered Russia.
The United States and Canada are already through to the quarter-finals.
Their opponents will be confirmed following the remaining play-offs later on Tuesday.
Tournament minnows Slovenia earlier put four unanswered goals past Austria to set up a quarter-final against medal prospects Sweden.
