Hobbled Steven Holcomb is best U.S. hope
in bobsled
The United States
hopes to make history in the four-man bobsled this weekend, but it needs
Holcomb to fully recover from the calf strain he suffered during the two-man
event Sunday for that to happen. If he's hobbled, the chances diminish greatly
for him to become the first American driver to win successive Olympic titles in
82 years.
"There are a
lot of treatment options I can do, but they're all illegal," said Holcomb,
who won gold in Vancouver four years ago. "I'm sticking to acupuncture, massage and laser stuff to help increase blood
flow.... On race day my adrenaline will be going, I'll put in my mouthpiece,
bite down hard and dig deep."
