\u00a0Kasjanov found himself on the podium for the first time this season.<\/p>\n<p>A near-perfect second run for Lyndon Rush on his home ice, but lacked some of the bottom-end speed of the Russians and could do no better than bronze, just .02 out of a silver medal.<\/p>\n<p>Max Arndt slips getting into the sled in heat 2, and despite a good recovery, could do no better than fourth. \u00a0The Bertazzo-piloted Italian sled finishes fifth, edging out Manuel Machata.<\/p>\n<p>Cory Butner led the way for the Americans, finishing 7th, while Nick Cunningham finishes 9th out of the 14 sled field.
