Former Husker football player Curt Tomasevicz competed in the two-man bobsled Sunday night at the Winter Olympics, finishing in sixth place.
Tomasevicz, a running back and linebacker from 2000-2003, and Steve Holcomb were in medal contention, in fifth place after three rounds, but in the final round they dropped to sixth.
Germany's Andre Lange won his record fourth gold medal. Lange and longtime brakeman Kevin Kuske completed the Whistler, British Columbia track in 326.65. Germany's Thomas Florschuetz finished second in 3:26.87 to win silver and Russia's Alexsandr Zubkov took the bronze in 3:27.51.
Lange, the defending Olympic champion in two and four-man bobsleds, surpassed Germany's Meinhard Nehmer for the most bobsled golds. Lange also won the four-man event at the Salt Lake City Games in 2002.
