For Holcomb: US gets 3 medals in World Cup bobsled opener

LAKE PLACID, N.Y. (AP) — Some of Steven Holcomb's ashes are scattered at Mount Van Hoevenberg, the track where the longtime U.S. bobsled driver dominated like no other for about the last two decades. His initials are on the speedsuits that his teammates will wear this season. His words still echo in their heads.

He's gone.

He's clearly not forgotten.

For the first time in nearly two decades, the U.S. raced in a World Cup bobsled competition without Holcomb — the three-time Olympic medalist — on the roster.
