WINTERBERG, Germany -- Maximilian Arndt drove to gold and Francesco Friedrich piloted his sled to silver Saturday, as Germany dominated a World Cup four-man bobsled race on one of its home tracks. Athletics Franklin Barreto Jersey . American pilots Steven Holcomb and Cory Butner both crashed, with Holcombs second-run topple likely costing him a medal. Arndt and teammates Marko Huebenbecker, Alexander Roediger and Martin Putze finished two runs in 1 minute, 49.97 seconds. Friedrich and Jannie Baecker, Gregor Bermback and Thorsten Margis were timed in 1:50.14. The Russian team of Alexander Zubkov, Alexey Negodaylo, Dmitry Trunenkov and Aleksei Pushkarev took third in 1:50.17. Calgarys Chris Spring and his crew of Jesse Lumsden of Burlington, Ont., Ottawas Cody Sorensen and Saskatoons Ben Coakwell were seventh in 1:50.39. Justin Kripps of Summerland, B.C., James McNaughton of Newmarket, Ont., Torontos Tim Randall and Edmontons Bryan Barnett were tied for eighth place to match their career-best four-man result. Canadian teammates Lyndon Rush of Humboldt, Sask., Edmontons Dave Bissett, Calgarys Lascelles Brown and Edmontons Neville Wright also had a time of 1:50.57. Nick Cunningham was the top U.S. driver, placing 12th with push athletes Justin Olsen, Johnny Quinn and Dallas Robinson. Arndt took over the top spot in the four-man season standings, 70 points ahead of Holcomb. The 2010 Olympic champion won a four-man race at Winterberg in 2009, but hasnt medaled in four subsequent tries. Holcomb won all seven of the World Cup races in the U.S. and Canada before the holiday break, but often struggles in Winterberg. This trip so far has been no exception. He dealt with a training crash during the week, didnt medal in the two-man race on Friday and was 0.12 seconds behind Arndt after the first heat on Saturday, solidly in silver-medal position. And his times to start that second run were good enough to challenge for gold, but the sled rolled over as Holcomb tried to exit Corner 9. Holcombs final time of 1:52.32 was only good for 20th, costing him a slew of World Cup points. "Its all about character now," U.S. coach Brian Shimer said. "Life, unfortunately, gives you ups and downs, and the higher you go, the steeper you fall. Weve all been through it, and we were prepared for the low. These guys are determined, probably the most motivated theyve ever been, and whatever happens we keep looking ahead with the big picture in mind." Corner 9 also got Butner, who drove to a bronze medal in Fridays two-man race. Butner and push athletes Chuck Berkeley, Adam Clark and Chris Langton crashed in the first heat, finishing 25th and ineligible for a second run. Another four-man race in Winterberg is scheduled for Sunday. Athletics Lou Trivino Jersey . When Reyes signed a US$106-million, six-year deal with Miami last month, there was speculation Ramirez was unhappy about being supplanted at short. But new manager Ozzie Guillen sold Ramirez on the idea. Athletics Chris Hatcher Jersey . Ireland was the last unbeaten side in the championship after France fell to Wales on Friday, and was favoured to end a three-match losing run to England with a side with more than twice as many caps, rampant momentum, and added incentive to celebrate Brian ODriscolls world record-tying 139th test cap.Wild weather, late drama, a Monday finish and a final-hole victory made for a memorable week the last time the PGA Championship was last held at Baltusrol in 2005. Thunderstorms forced the tournament to be extended to a fifth day in New Jersey, where Phil Mickelson prevailed to snatch victory from a bunched leaderboard.The 2004 Masters champion was part of a six-way tie for the lead after the opening day, before recovering from a double-bogey at the start of his second nine on Friday to card a 65 and open up a three-stroke lead. Ways to watch How to watch the 98th PGA Championship Mickelson struggled to a two-over 72 on Saturday as the chasing pack took advantage, with Davis Love moving alongside him with a third consecutive 68 and Thomas Bjorn posting a record-equalling 63 to get within one.The American struggled in tough scoring conditions during the final round, posting four bogeys in a five-hole stretch around the turn, but birdied the 13th to regain his outright advantage just before play was halted due to the threat of lightning. Mickelsons win was his fourth of the calendar year Steve Elkingston and Bjorn, who drained a 30-footer at the 13th, lurked one stroke back, while defending Vijay Singh and Love were alongside Woods on two under. Woods, who had only made the cut on the mark in his pursuit of a third major win of the year, followed a third-round 66 with a two-under-par 68 shortly before the weather brought an early end to play. Woods finished the week tied-fourth Despite holding the clubhouse lead, Woods did not stick around to see if his total of two under was enough and instead returned home on Sunday night, as the final six groups returned to complete their final rounds on Monday. Athletics Jharel Cotton Jersey. Bjorn, with four holes to play, lost ground by running up a bogey-five at the 15th but bounced back by holing an 18-footer at the 17th, as Mickelson was unable to get up-and-down to save par at the short 16th. That left the pair part of a three-way tie on three under alongside Elkington, who had closed with three consecutive pars to complete a final-round 68.Having left his approach at the par-five last in the sand, Bjorn hit a smart recovery but saw his 15-foot birdie try brush the edge and stay out of the cup. Bjorn couldnt find the final-hole birdie required to force a play-off Mickelson also missed the green in two as he ended in the rough, only for the American to execute a perfect flop shot to leave a tap-in four for victory.It was an amazing week, Mickelson said after his win, with victory being his second of five major titles.Who will win the 98th PGA Championship?
