Skeleton: Jeff Bauer overcomes injury.  Despite very poor starting times on Friday, he finished seventh and tenth overall in 2.41 seconds. On Saturday, he finished eighth and fifth overall in 2.09 seconds. This put him just 5/100 behind the young Canadian Josip Brusic, who is now third in this championship, just ahead of the Luxembourg skeleton pioneer. It was painful, but it worked out OK. The strain has time to heal until the next race in a month," said Bauer happily. (ChB) On his home course in Park City, USA, Jeff Bauer started the second race of the North American Championship and pulled his hamstring tendon in the starting sprint of the first run: During the second run I could only jog. The next day the tendon was hard and swollen, but I started anyway. Luckily I know the course well, know how to gain speed there and had also learned to start acceptably despite my injury." The 52-year-old was placed among 20 competitors.
