Lyndon Rush also took third place in the four-man bobsleigh competition in Cesana , Italy, which contributed to his current ranking as third in the world rankings in the four-man bobsleigh.

In the four-man bobsleigh competition he was still in second place in the third run, before he was overtaken by André Lange in the fourth run and took the bronze medal two hundredths of a second behind.
