'Gold medal': Andy Robertson picks his four-man Liverpool bobsleigh team to compete in the Winter Olympics

In another life, perhaps some Liverpool players could have been competing at the ongoing Winter Olympics in Italy.

Top athletes all of them, the Reds could have had their pick of disciplines had they not been footballers.

However, some players would be better suited to certain sports, and the Liverpool media team have been having some fun asking the squad who would be good at what.

Got a horrible feeling Slot is going to keep Gakpo in the XI and drop Salah 😬 Who should be the front four vs Forest?

Andy Robertson is always game for a laugh for the cameras, and, tasked with picking a four-man Liverpool bobsleigh team to compete in the Winter Olympics, the Scot did not disappoint.

As Liverpool play Nottingham Forest on the same day of the Winter Olympics finale, Robertson and his teammates will likely miss watching the action from Milano Cortina live.

Nevertheless, perhaps Robertson and his team of Jeremie Frimpong, Joe Gomez and Rio Ngumoha could have a chance of competing in four years’ time.

In a video posted on Liverpool’s YouTube channel, the left-back explained his choices to the camera.

“Jeremie, because I think he’d be quick,” he said. “Joey G, powerful. Joey at the back, me second back, Jeremie and Rio up front. There you go, gold medal!”

Asked which nation the four-man squad would be representing, Robertson gave a determined cry of: “Scotland!”

Anyone else getting that sinking feeling ahead of Sunday?

Liverpool squad make their choices for winter sports

Robertson was far from the only Liverpool player asked to nominate a teammate for a specific Winter Olympic sport.

Alexis Mac Allister put Florian Wirtz forward for figure skating, with the German also picking himself to represent the Reds in speed skating.

Ryan Gravenberch got a nod from Curtis Jones for skiing, although he may face competition from Milos Kerkez, who named himself as a good skier as well as the best pick for snowboarding.

Frimpong could be busy, as along with taking part in Robertson’s bobsleigh team the Dutchman was picked to perform the ski jump by Virgil van Dijk ‘because he’s light as a feather and can fly like a bird.’

Finally, Federico Chiesa picked Mac Allister for curling, with Jones named as Cody Gakpo’s choice for the biathlon.
