From Sochi, Russia
Beat Hefti wins the final two-man race of the 2012/2013 season, and has some great momentum going into next year’s Olympics. Hefti takes the win by .3 over German Thomas Florschuetz, and .4 over Latvian Oskars Melbardis. There was a tie for fourth, with Canadian Lyndon Rush and Russian Alexander Zubkov sharing honors. Russia has yet to score a gold medal on their home track, with four-man the last chance for Zubkov to take gold.
It was a rather forgettable race for the American men. Cory Butner led the way for the USA in ninth, while Steven Holcomb finishes 12th and Nick Cunningham 14th. On the other hand, it was a very consistent day for the Canadians. On top of Rush’s tie for fourth, Chris Spring finished sixth and Justin Kripps 18th. John Jackson led the way for Great Britain in 16th, while Lamin Deen finishes 29th.
