LAKE PLACID, N.Y. (AP) — Bobsledder Todd Hays will miss this weekend's World Cup stop in Lake Placid with a minor strain of his left hamstring.
The 40-year-old Hays will be replaced by driver Mike Kohn. Steve Holcomb and John Napier also will drive for the United States this weekend.
Hays piloted USA-2 to a silver medal — his first medal in a World Cup since January 2006 — in the opening two-man race of the season last weekend in Park City, Utah. He was leading the four-man competition after the first run as well, then hurt his leg at the start of the second and finished sixth.
He is expected to rejoin the World Cup circuit when it shifts to Cesana Pariol, Italy on Dec. 4-6.
