From Lake Placid, USA<\/strong><\/p>\n

Francesco Friedrich kicked off his 2014\/2015 campaign in Lake Placid with a gold medal for Germany, already bettering what was an awful start to last season. Friedrich tied for the fastest run in Run 1 with American Nick Cunningham, but Cunningham just didn’t have luck on his side. \u00a0In Run 2, making time up on the lower portion of the track, Cunningham ran over a hat, which likely cost him at least a silver medal, if not a chance at gold. \u00a0Oskars Melbardis benefited, taking silver for Latvia.<\/p>\n

It was a solid say for the Swiss, as Beat Hefti and Rico Peter took fourth and fifth, while American Steven Holcomb continues to rehab a torn Achilles tear, finishing sixth. \u00a0Codie Bascue finished 13th in his first World Cup race in Lake Placid.<\/p>\n

The Canadians struggled south of the border, with Justin Kripps leading the way in seventh, while teammate Chris Spring finished 14th. \u00a0Lamin Deen took 16th for Great Britain.<\/p>\n
